Pooja Brown is a 42-year-old high...
Pooja Brown is a 42-year-old high school teacher and mother of two. Following a traumatic car accident eight months ago where she sustained minor physical injuries but was profoundly shaken, she developed symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). She experienced vivid, intrusive flashbacks of the crash, severe hypervigilance while driving (to the point of avoiding highways), irritability with her family, and emotional numbness. Her husband grew increasingly concerned as she withdrew from activities she once loved. Her neurologist, after confirming full physical recovery, strongly recommended trauma-focused therapy with a psychologist. Pooja began Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy with Dr. Chen. The sessions were emotionally exhausting; revisiting the trauma was painful, and she often left feeling raw. However, Dr. Chen's empathetic guidance helped her process the memory in a safe environment. Gradually, the flashbacks lost their intensity, and her startle response diminished. After four months of treatment, Pooja has resumed driving on all roads, her sleep has improved, and she feels re-engaged with her family. The emotional journey was from a state of constant fear and disconnection, feeling 'broken' by the event, to one of resilience. She now views herself as a survivor who has processed a terrible experience, rather than a victim defined by it.
