Causes of Trauma Related Issues
Trauma disorders often stem from a single traumatic event or prolonged exposure to stressful situations, such as abuse, accidents, or natural disasters. Risk factors include the severity of the trauma, previous mental health challenges, and a lack of social support.
Regain Control over Trauma
Trauma disorders can profoundly impact daily life, creating emotional and physical challenges that make it difficult to move forward. These disorders arise from distressing events, leaving individuals feeling disconnected and overwhelmed by persistent reminders of the trauma. In Dubai, Zita Chriszto, a licensed clinical psychologist, offers evidence-based treatments to help both adults and children recover from trauma. With over five years of experience, Zita provides compassionate care, guiding patients toward healing and personal growth.
When to Seek Help
If trauma-related symptoms persist for more than a month or significantly impair your ability to function, it may be time to seek professional help. Globally, trauma disorders affect millions, with around 7-8% of people experiencing PTSD at some point in their lives. Early intervention can significantly improve outcomes and promote long-term recovery.
Diagnosis of Trauma Disorders

In cases requiring more specialized interventions, therapists may also integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), both of which are highly effective in trauma treatment.
