Understanding Complex PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can deeply impact your life, but there is hope for healing. Complex PTSD is a condition resulting from prolonged or repeated trauma, often occurring in the context of relationships and long-term adversity. Unlike acute PTSD, complex PTSD involves additional symptoms such as difficulties with emotional regulation, consciousness, self-perception, and relationships.

At Alves Psychotherapy, Rosilda Alves specializes in providing comprehensive treatment for complex PTSD. With a deep understanding of the complexities of trauma, she offers personalized therapy to help you navigate the challenges of PTSD and reclaim your life.
CAUSES OF PTSD
PTSD can result from a variety of traumatic experiences, including:
- Car accidents
- Sudden death of loved ones
- Physical assault
- Robbery or acute medical illness
- Date rape
- Sexual abuse
- Incest
- Childhood physical abuse
- Domestic violence
- Witnessing someone else’s trauma

Trauma can also stem from a single acute event that becomes chronic over time. Each person’s experience of trauma is unique, and Dr. Rosilda Alves is committed to providing tailored treatment to address these individual differences.

This disruption can lead to a range of symptoms, including:
- Intrusive thoughts or flashbacks
- Nightmares
