Anxiety After Trauma

*Match your score to the results on this scale.

Anxiety symptoms are one of the core elements of PTSD. Trauma-related anxiety includes irritability, angry outbursts, recklessness, remaining “on guard,” exaggerated startling, difficulty concentrating, and sleep troubles. It’s normal for people who have experienced a traumatic event to go through a period of feeling more anxious. With PTSD, however, these anxiety symptoms last longer than one month and are so severe that they have a long-term and significant impact on major aspects of your life. The severity of your score in this section suggests how much of an impact your anxiety symptoms are having on your daily life (i.e. your ability to work, take care of yourself and your family. and handle day-to-day tasks).

Our therapists are trained to support you in understanding your PTSD symptoms, processing through your experience, developing healthier coping strategies, and working towards a happier and more balanced life. We create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to talk through your thoughts and feelings without the fear of being judged, or dismissed. Our therapy sessions include evidence-based techniques for ptsd treatment, such as cognitive-processing therapy and mindfulness-based therapy.

(0-1) None or Minimal Anxiety

Some people who have experienced a traumatic event do not develop PTSD, while others may develop different types of trauma-related symptoms. If you are experiencing other symptoms of PTSD such as re-experiencing, avoidance, and changes in your mood or beliefs, it’s recommended to discuss your symptoms with a mental health professional.
