Three Signs of PTSD

Hyperarousal

Individuals with trauma often exhibit hyperarousal, which includes being easily startled, feeling tense or "on edge," and having difficulty sleeping.

Emotional Exhaustion

It's the feeling of being emotionally drained, overwhelmed, and fatigued. This exhaustion can make it difficult to cope with everyday situations.

Intrusive Thoughts

Frequent, involuntary, and distressing recollections of the traumatic event are common in trauma. These intrusive thoughts can come in the form of flashbacks or nightmares.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Wombat is an Australian online psychology clinic offering telehealth services focused on treating trauma, anxiety, burnout and PTSD through EMDR, and other therapeutic approaches.

  • Trauma-focused online therapy is a specialized form of telehealth designed to help individuals process and recover from traumatic experiences. It combines evidence-based treatments like EMDR and CBT with the convenience of remote access. This makes it easier for people to get support from the safety of their own home. It’s especially helpful for PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, and dissociation.

  • Yes, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can be safely and effectively delivered online. Many trauma therapists now use EMDR through secure telehealth platforms, using visual or auditory bilateral stimulation tools. Online EMDR therapy supports the same outcomes as in-person sessions for PTSD, complex trauma, and anxiety. It's ideal for people in remote areas or those who prefer therapy from home.

  • EMDR is a trauma therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer cause intense emotional reactions. It’s clinically proven to reduce symptoms of PTSD by targeting the root of trauma, not just the symptoms. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, to help the brain integrate traumatic memories. This leads to lasting emotional relief and improved mental health.

  • Yes, online therapy is highly effective for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions. Studies show that telehealth therapy—including EMDR and trauma-informed CBT—provides comparable outcomes to face-to-face sessions. With Wombat’s registered psychologists, clients receive personalized, trauma-informed care tailored to their needs. Secure video sessions also reduce the stress of attending in-person therapy.
