For many who have experienced the realities of military combat, the return to civilian life can be deeply disorienting. The intense stress and emotional toll of combat don't always end when deployment does; they can follow you home and affect how you think, feel, and relate to others. The good news is that healing is possible. Endless Blessings Counseling and Coaching offers combat trauma therapy in Anchorage, Alaska, in a safe, compassionate space to support you on your journey to recovery.
How Combat Trauma Affects the Mind and Body
Combat trauma often results from exposure to life-threatening events, injury, or witnessing the suffering or loss of fellow service members. These experiences can have lasting emotional and psychological effects that disrupt daily routines, relationships, and sense of self, leading to symptoms such as:
- Hypervigilance
- Nightmares and flashbacks
- Anxiety and irritability
- Emotional numbness
- Intrusive thoughts
- Trouble sleeping
- Withdrawal from relationships
- Avoidance of reminders related to service
Many of these signs may point to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a condition that is treatable with combat trauma therapy.
