Dr. Cindy Williams answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Trauma: Counseling. Look for a counselor that you feel safe with, who you feel you can say anything to. It might take a few tries. These counselors can also evaluate you and see if medication might help. Sometimes you need a life jacket (medicine), until you learn to swim (counseling).
