That's why treatment for trauma is important, and why Lifebulb offers specialized PTSD and trauma care in Sandy Springs for those seeking support and healing.
Acute trauma typically refers to a single traumatic event, such as a car accident, medical emergency, or natural disaster. The negative effects of experiencing an acute trauma are usually shorter-lasting, but lingering fears, anxieties, and unhealthy coping mechanisms can be distressing for years to come. Trauma Therapy in Sandy Springs is highly effective at treating acute traumas.
Chronic trauma is repeated exposure to traumatic events, such as ongoing abuse, neglect, or poverty. More often, chronic trauma results in more complex symptoms that affect a person’s thinking and behavior patterns and their sense of self or identity. However, chronic trauma is also highly treatable with professional therapy, and our Sandy Springs therapists have the tools to help you heal.
Complex trauma refers to traumatic events that occurred during childhood or over a long period of time. It can look like ongoing neglect, instability, abuse, or poverty.

I highly recommend Lifebulb. This resource helps connect people to professional counselors which is so helpful especially in days like these. Its so incredibly important to have a good counselor to talk with. A good counselor will connect with you and talk you through lifes problems and situations as they arise. A good counselor will also help you process and understand things from a healthy perspective. Its so helpful to have a professional insight and not just biased personal opinions like what family and friends sometimes offer. Its so important to process our thoughts in a healthy way, talking things out and putting all the peices together so we can have a clear picture, a goal and more targeted communication which helps all our relationships. Wishing all reading this review you find someone you can connect with and learn from and grow into your best you.
