What is trauma?


At Helyx Health, we recognize that trauma can have both physical and psychological impacts, often stemming from overwhelming events like a car accident or violent assault. Our method addresses the psychological repercussions, such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
 
We understand that trauma’s effects can linger long after the traumatic event, manifesting as both emotional distress and physical symptoms. We provide a variety of services, such as medication management and counseling, to help our patients.

Our commitment at Helyx Health is to provide comprehensive care that acknowledges each person’s unique response to trauma. By addressing both immediate and long-term effects, we aim to promote healing and enhance overall well-being for those affected by traumatic experiences.

How do you know if you have trauma?


At Helyx Health, we recognize that trauma, whether physical or psychological, can leave a lasting impact on individuals, often leading to difficult-to-identify consequences. Our dedicated team is here to help you understand the signs of trauma and provide both medical assistance and emotional support.

Our compassionate approach ensures that you receive the care necessary to navigate your healing journey, empowering you to reclaim your well-being and quality of life.

Psychological trauma, while less visible than physical trauma, can be just as debilitating. It often arises from distressing events that threaten safety or induce feelings of helplessness. Symptoms can include anxiety, mood swings, insomnia, and behavioral changes. Our mental health experts at Helyx Health specialize in identifying these signs and offering tailored treatment options.

How does trauma affect mental health?


At Helyx Health, we recognize the profound impact trauma can have on mental health. Experiences such as violence, neglect, loss, disasters, or serious illness can lead to a variety of psychological symptoms, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and personality changes. The effects of trauma often disrupt normal brain functioning, particularly affecting areas like the hippocampus, which plays a critical role in memory and learning, often resulting in impaired concentration and poor decision-making.

Moreover, trauma can over-activate the amygdala, heightening fear and anxiety responses, and disrupting the body’s stress response system, leading to physical and psychological issues like fatigue, sleep disturbances, and weakened immune function. It may also trigger other mental health challenges, such as substance abuse and dissociative conditions, which can cause feelings of detachment or disruptions in memory and identity. The impact varies based on factors like trauma severity, individual health, coping mechanisms, support systems, and resilience.

At Helyx Health, we emphasize the importance of seeking professional help for those affected by trauma-related mental health issues. Our experienced team utilizes effective therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and medication when needed.

How do you treat trauma?


At Helyx Health, we recognize that trauma, whether physical or emotional, can arise from experiences such as accidents, violence, or natural disasters. These traumas can have short-term and long-term effects on one’s body, emotional, and psychological well-being and can range from minor injuries to life-threatening diseases. Our committed staff is available to offer thorough care that is customized to meet the needs of each patient.

The first step in trauma treatment involves ensuring immediate physical safety. To assist people in processing traumatic situations and creating coping strategies, Helyx Health provides psychotherapy such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and doctors may prescribe drugs to treat symptoms.

Recovery from trauma is a gradual process, and ongoing support is essential. At Helyx Health, we encourage building a supportive network of friends and family, allowing individuals to share their experiences at their own pace. Our commitment is to guide you on your journey to healing and resilience. For more information, contact us or request an appointment online. We serve patients from San Francisco CA, Orange CA, Palo Alto CA, Menlo Park CA, Stanford CA, Santa Ana CA, Tustin CA, Oakland CA, Emeryville CA, and surrounding areas.
