What isPost-Traumatic
Stress Disorder?
PTSD is often defined as extreme anxiety that includes repetitive and invasive memories about traumatic events. Neuroscience has shown that trauma literally changes the brain and one’s sense of self and the world. In an attempt to protect the person from further harm, the brain increasingly perceives and interprets events and people as dangerous and frightening. While the self-protective brain patterns are helpful in the short term when the actual danger is present, they become maladaptive in the long haul and get in the way of a full life.
Here, atNeuroSource
We use the most evidence based, economical & efficient Neuroimaging Technology (QEEG, swLORETA) to map the brain and discover how each individual’s brain is dysregulated and contributing to their symptoms. Then, we employ the most cutting-edge, well researched Neurofeedback and other Brain Training Tools to optimize the appropriate networks of the brain so the person can improve their mood, motivation, and thinking patterns.
Using other Biofeedback Tools, Epigenetic and Lifestyle Coaching Programs, we also help people understand their brains and bodies and develop the skills and habits they need to continue improving their self-regulation skills so they can enjoy life again.

Post-Traumatic Stress DisorderSymptoms
PTSD can cause many types of symptoms. The symptoms can be generally grouped into three categories. It’s natural to have some of these symptoms after a dangerous event. When the symptoms last more than a few weeks and become an ongoing problem, it might be PTSD. Some people with PTSD don’t show any symptoms for weeks, or months, or even years. The following categories of symptoms can be triggered either from internal thoughts and feelings or external events.
Re-Experiencing Symptoms
Re-experiencing trauma can be a memory, a feeling, a thought, or a biochemical event from unknown causes. Triggers can be something of which you're conscious or not. The symptoms that are triggered cause significant problems in a person’s everyday routine.
Avoidance Symptoms
Events, feelings, perceptions, thoughts, and memories that remind a person of the traumatic event can trigger unhealthy avoidance symptoms which disrupt and diminish their quality of life.
Hyper-Arousal Symptoms
Hyper-arousal symptoms are like a thermostat stuck on high. The trauma has elevated your fight or flight response to a chronically unhealthy level. This can make a person feel continually stressed and angry, making daily tasks and relationships difficult.
