Trauma symptoms can show up in many ways

Trauma isn’t defined only by the event — it’s defined by how your nervous system learned to survive. Symptoms may include:

  • Feeling on edge or easily startled

  • Sleep disturbance, nightmares, or night sweats

  • Irritability, anger, or emotional shutdown

  • Avoidance of reminders or situations

  • Feeling detached, numb, or “not present”

  • Intrusive memories or rumination

  • Anxiety, panic, depression, or shame

PTSD treatment for adults in Florida through secure online telepsychiatry at Live Now Psychiatry

Trauma-informed care (what it means here)

  • You control the pace.

  • We focus on symptoms, safety, and what helps — not forcing details.

  • We build a plan that supports stability, sleep, and daily functioning.

  • We coordinate with therapy if you want deeper trauma processing.

Treatment options and support

Depending on your needs, your plan may include:

  • Symptom-targeted medication support (when appropriate)

  • Sleep and nightmare support

  • Grounding and nervous-system regulation tools

  • Referral/coordination for trauma therapy (EMDR, trauma-focused CBT, somatic therapies) if desired

Nightmares and sleep

Sleep is often one of the first areas we stabilize. We’ll build a plan that reduces nighttime fear and improves recovery.

Safety and next steps

If you feel unsafe or at risk of harming yourself, call 988 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you’re stable but struggling, we can build a structured plan with clear follow-ups.
