About Tonya Winingar in St. Louis, MO

Your Life Isn’t the Same Anymore

Life hasn’t always been easy. It’s been downright cruel at times! You try to bury memories from this time in your life, but they keep returning no matter how hard you push them away. Then, something triggers you, and there are flashbacks to the worst time in your life! The anxiety and despair in those moments are more than you can handle! You would give anything never to feel this again! Your world becomes small, and you avoid anything that might make you feel that way. Even though you thought this would help, it only made things worse. You are stuck in a vicious cycle. Nothing seems to help.

You Want Your Life Back

Life wasn’t perfect before the trauma, but it was a lot easier. You weren’t constantly on edge and looking around to ensure safety, so avoiding triggers was never something you had to consider. Flashbacks and nightmares weren’t wreaking havoc on your life. There were things you enjoyed – family and friends, hobbies, trying new things, going places. You want to be able to enjoy those things again, but you don’t know what to do or how to get there.
