"Traumatic experiences shake the foundations of our beliefs about safety, and shatter our assumptions of trust."
Dr. David V. Baldwin

Traumatic events usually provoke unusual emotional recations. Although these reactions may seem unpredictable and scary, they are well documented and ultimately mostly treatable. Most importantly, these reactions are normal. Anyone in participating or observing a traumatic event is likely to experience some or all of the symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or a related trauma illness.

At GPS, we provide a variety of services for emergency or trauma intervention.

Our Emergency and Trauma Response page descibes our intervention treatments.

A number of individual or couple issues may arise from traumatic experiences. Our Therapy page describes some of the problems address and treatments we offer.
