Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) & Emotional Trauma
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) & Emotional Trauma
Unlike traditional psychiatry, which often relies solely on symptoms, Genesis TMS takes a neuro-informed approach. Using brain mapping and functional EEGs, we identify brain patterns associated with trauma to offer more accurate diagnoses and effective treatment strategies tailored to each patient.
What is Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)?
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a serious mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. While distress is a normal response to trauma, persistent symptoms that disrupt daily life may indicate PTSD. These symptoms can impact emotional regulation, cognitive function, relationships, and physical health.
PTSD is not a weakness—it’s a biological response to overwhelming stress. At Genesis TMS, we help patients reclaim their lives by targeting the root of their symptoms—dysregulated brain activity.
Who is Affected by PTSD?
PTSD can affect anyone—children, teens, adults, first responders, veterans, and healthcare workers. Trauma does not discriminate. Studies show:
- 3.5% of U.S. adults experience PTSD each year.
- Women are 2-3 times more likely than men to develop PTSD.
- 11–30% of combat veterans and first responders may suffer from PTSD.
- Healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 crisis reported elevated PTSD symptoms.

How Genesis TMS Is Different
At Genesis TMS, we take a precision-based approach to PTSD treatment. Our team integrates clinical evaluation with EEG-guided TMS therapy to gently and effectively regulate the neural circuitry impacted by trauma.
Many individuals are misdiagnosed with depression or anxiety when trauma is the root cause.
Our EEG mapping allows us to identify overactive brain regions commonly associated with PTSD, such as:
- The amygdala and deep limbic system (emotional overdrive)
- The anterior cingulate gyrus (difficulty letting go of thoughts or fears)
- With this data, we personalize TMS stimulation protocols to calm overactivity, restore balance, and promote emotional healing.
With this data, we personalize TMS stimulation protocols to calm overactivity, restore balance, and promote emotional healing.
Why Genesis TMS for PTSD Treatment?
- Non-invasive, drug-free TMS therapy

Common Causes of PTSD
- Critical incident exposure (first responders, medical emergencies)
- Childhood abuse or neglect
- Physical or sexual assault
- Car accidents or traumatic injuries
- Military combat or deployment
- Natural disasters (fires, earthquakes, hurricanes)
- Loss of a loved one
- Sudden life-threatening medical events
- Ongoing domestic violence
PTSD Often Co-Occurs With:
- Anxiety disorders
- Depression
- Bipolar disorder
- Panic attacks
- Substance abuse
- Sleep disturbances
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
- Memory loss or cognitive decline
PTSD Symptoms May Include:
- Flashbacks or nightmares
- Sleep disturbances
- Intrusive thoughts or distressing memories
- Guilt, shame, or self-blame
- Avoidance of reminders of the trauma
- Emotional numbness or disconnection
- Hypervigilance and exaggerated startle response
- Irritability, anger outbursts, or isolation
Healing is Possible
At Genesis TMS, we believe no one should suffer in silence. PTSD may alter how your brain functions—but it doesn’t define your future. With our science-backed, personalized TMS protocols, you can start the journey back to balance, resilience, and joy.
