A traumatic experience has the power to flip our lives over within a matter of seconds completely. Even if you walk away with nothing more than a scratch, the immense shock you experienced in that brief period can forever alter your reality. This is why therapy is important after a traumatic experience.
Of course, if you’ve reached our page, chances are you’re dealing with a trauma that’s two-fold—meaning, directly and negatively influencing your life caused by someone else. If you or a treasured one has undergone a traumatic experience wrongfully, we’ll explain how you can receive the treatment you deserve further in this article. But first, let’s cover the basics.
What is a Traumatic Experience?
According to the CDC, a traumatic experience is marked by a sense of horror, helplessness, the threat of a serious injury or death, or results in serious injury or death. Countless incidents can cause trauma, and there is no formula for diagnosing it. Traumatic events can also affect different people at different levels. If another has wrongfully hurt you, some trauma you could be experiencing is:
- Wrestling with the wrongful death of a loved one
- Emotionally accepting the consequences of a life-changing injury
- Signs of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) include:
- Intrusive flashbacks
- Nightmares
- Sleep disturbances
- Avoidance symptoms
- Increased irritability
The bottom line is that trauma deeply affects every aspect of one’s life, from social interactions and work performance to how one processes emotions. The results are negative and long-lasting, which is why therapy is important.
How Does Therapy Help?
After a traumatic experience, therapy is necessary to ease you back into the swing of life. There are different types of therapy available to those who need to heal from a traumatic experience. These include but are not limited to:
- Physical therapy for a body injury
- Prolonged exposure therapy to process emotions
- Cognitive processing therapy for PTSD
- Eye-movement desensitization therapy for PTSD
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy to process feelings
No matter how you’ll go about your injury recovery, the question remains- how can you medically and financially support yourself through it?
How Can You Access Therapy?
The most effective way to access affordable therapy post-trauma is with the help of a reliable attorney. This is because whether you’ve been injured yourself or are grieving the wrongful death of a loved one, you have the power to sue the negligent individual. Also, you can file insurance claims for trauma counseling following a catastrophic accident.
Both actions will allow you to receive the treatment you deserve without spending a dime on your part. Lawyers come into play because their expert knowledge of the law and fast negotiation skills ensure maximum recovery for you. While you’re free to file claims and lawsuits yourself, it will be hard to defend yourself against professionals looking to keep the most money for themselves. With a reliable attorney by your side, you can relax and focus on healing knowing that an expert is fighting for your rights in the most effective way possible.
