Trauma Recovery
PTSD & Trauma Psychiatric Care in Dallas, TX
Trauma-informed medical care to soothe an overworked nervous system, alleviate nightmares, and support deep healing.
Compassionate, Trauma-Informed Psychiatry
Traumatic experiences can leave the brain's alarm system permanently stuck in fight-or-flight mode. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) causes intrusive memories, hypervigilance, emotional numbing, and severe sleep disruption.
At 24-7 Shalom Psychiatry, we provide trauma-informed psychiatric care in a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere. We prescribe targeted medications that reduce autonomic nervous system arousal, enabling you to feel safe in your body again.
Key PTSD Symptoms We Address
- Intrusive Memories & Flashbacks: Overwhelming sensory recall of past traumatic events.
- Hyperarousal & Startle Response: Feeling constantly on edge, irritable, or watchful of surroundings.
- Trauma Nightmares & Insomnia: Severe sleep disruption and nocturnal panic.
- Emotional Numbness & Avoidance: Disconnection from loved ones and avoidance of trauma triggers.
