Trauma is an intense psychological reaction to an event or repeated situation. These experiences can cause emotional pain and physical suffering beyond the initial healing process. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a specific type of trauma that can result from exposure to a traumatic event.
The Ranch’s PTSD treatment center treats adult survivors of childhood trauma and other traumatic events. Trauma therapy and PTSD counseling can help individuals cope with and manage their symptoms, as well as address any underlying issues that may be contributing to their trauma.

Types of Trauma and PTSD
Trauma can cause a wide range of physical and mental health symptoms and PTSD signs. Some people are quick to anger while others develop anxiety or depression. It is also possible to become detached from emotions altogether. Other common issues include sleep disturbances, relationship problems, and flashbacks to traumatic episodes. Those suffering from trauma may struggle with alcohol or drug abuse, eating disorders, or self-harm.
The following are types of trauma that can lead to PTSD:
- Acute trauma – This is caused by a single event, such as a car accident or natural disaster. This type of trauma can result in physical injuries and emotional distress.
- Chronic trauma – It occurs when someone experiences repeated traumatic events over an extended period, such as domestic violence or ongoing abuse. Chronic trauma can have long-lasting effects on an individual’s mental and emotional well-being.
- Complex trauma – This refers to multiple traumas experienced throughout one’s lifetime, often starting in childhood. This type of trauma can have severe impacts on an individual’s ability to cope with stress and regulate emotions.
- Developmental trauma – Traumatic experiences can occur during critical periods of development, such as childhood abuse or neglect. These types of traumas can lead to developmental delays and long-term behavioral issues.
The effects of trauma can be debilitating and significantly impact an individual’s daily life. However, with proper treatment, it is possible to manage and overcome the symptoms of trauma and PTSD.
