The entanglement begins as individuals with PTSD may find themselves ensnared by obsessions linked to their trauma. Harrowing intrusive thoughts, relentless self-inquiry, and misplaced self-blame are common. These obsessions are not mere ruminations; they are loud echoes of a past refusing to be silent, stirring up anxiety that can be as debilitating as the original trauma itself.
Compulsions—repetitive behaviors with the aim to counteract the distress—may follow. These can manifest as ritualistic behaviors that create an illusion of control against the unpredictable waves of PTSD-triggered anxiety. Our team understands that such compulsive actions are not choices but survival mechanisms misfired.
Our clinic is dedicated to breaking these cycles. Through innovative treatments, like ketamine infusion therapy, we’ve observed profound breakthroughs. Ketamine’s potential to rewire thought patterns offers a beacon of hope, a chance to dampen the distress and reclaim a sense of peace.
