Tampa Therapy
Dr. Elyssa Barbash's specialized background makes her one of Tampa Bay's leading authorities in the assessment and treatment of trauma and PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Dr. Barbash has extensive experience in psychological assessment, working with couples, life coaching, and is trained in multiple evidence-based treatments for trauma/PTSD, depression, and anxiety.

Trauma can have long lasting effects on all aspects of your life, whether you remember the trauma or not. You might experience medical complications, physical symptoms such as tension or difficulty sleeping, and emotional symptoms such as anxiety, fearfulness, depression or shame. Treatment can prevent the onset or continuation of other problems.

Immediately after experiencing trauma, people can develop Acute Stress Disorder (ASD), which is a response to a traumatic event that occurs within one month of the event and includes dissociative reactions.ASD is highly predictive of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and when symptoms persist for more than one month, the diagnosis of PTSD is relevant.

Immediately after experiencing trauma, people can develop Acute Stress Disorder (ASD), which is a response to a traumatic event that occurs within one month of the event and includes dissociative reactions.
While traumatic events are incredibly stressful and shocking, they become "trauma" when a person's ability to cope is compromised.
This often happens in response to events that are perceived as life or body threatening or after witnessing someone else's life be threatened or taken in a violent or shocking way.
Psychological trauma often relies on a person's subjective experience of an event, and to what extent they believe their life, bodily integrity, or psychological well-being was threatened.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a unique and powerful therapy for helping people deal with stress, trauma, painful memories and places in their lives where they are stuck.
EMDR specifically targets traumas that have been "locked" in the brain, but can also be used for events that are not considered trauma in the traditional sense, such as ongoing teasing while in school, chronic childhood illness, etc.
After experiencing a traumatic or stressful situation, negative thoughts and beliefs about the self can dominate.
For people who have never been to couples therapy, and especially for those who have never been to any type of therapy, it can seem like a daunting process to come in and share all of your personal problems with a complete stranger.
This blog is intended to provide some guidance about what you can expect when you start couples therapy.
The first important thing is that you are not sharing your personal information with just any complete stranger.
Instead, you are sharing your personal information with someone who is trained in assisting you and your partner.
