Questions people ask
Will I have to talk about the trauma immediately?
No. Trauma is approached gradually and only when enough safety and readiness are in place.
Can PTSD appear years later?
Yes. Symptoms may begin soon after an event or become clear much later.
How long can treatment take?
Many people work over several months; more complex trauma may need longer-term care.
