YOU GET TO DECIDE HOW YOUR LIFE GOES
Life happens to all of us. Sometimes that means we witness or are exposed to a traumatic event. Sometimes the trauma we experience is second-hand through our work or learning about things from friends or loved ones.
It’s normal to react to events, but when life doesn’t return to normal after one month, we may need help. Counseling is scientifically shown to reduce trauma-related symptoms and improve your daily life.
The Symptoms of Adjustment Disorders include Having emotional or behavioral symptoms within three months of a specific stressor occurring in your life. People with an adjustment disorder experience more stress than would typically be expected in response to a stressful life event and having stress that causes significant problems in their relationships, at work, or in school
