Compassionate Healing with CPTSD Therapy Austin TX
You are not defined by what happened to you. At Mosaic Mind & Body Wellness, we offer a neuro-affirming sanctuary where recovery is paved with safety, validation, and the possibility of joy.
Understanding PTSD & CPTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) often stems from a single, overwhelming event. Complex PTSD (CPTSD) is typically the result of repeated, long-term trauma—often within relationships or systems where escape felt impossible.
Both conditions affect how your nervous system responds to the world. We don't see symptoms as flaws; we see them as your body's brilliant, albeit exhausted, attempt to keep you safe.
