  • Exclusive Hawaii Rehab #UnderstandingPTSD 🧠💡🌱 As behavioral health professionals, we know that addiction and mental health issues are much more than surface level. They are often rooted in deeper, underlying issues, many of which relate to trauma. Addressing these traumas is critical, especially when they manifest into post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Our latest blog post at Exclusive Hawaii Rehab https://arshare.co/6f3Ye dives into the importance of comprehensive mental health care for treating PTSD. We explore the importance of traditional mental health modalities, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and experiential therapies, such as ketamine and nature immersion therapy. All geared towards understanding and addressing the root causes of trauma and PTSD. 🌿🧠🔍We encourage you to share this resource with your clients. It's essential to remember that seeking help and addressing underlying traumas is a crucial aspect of recovery. If your clients need additional support, they can reach out to our team of experts at Exclusive Hawaii Rehab at (808) 775-0200. We're here to help. 🤝💙🌈 #exclusivehawaiirehab #mentalhealthsupport #traumarecovery
