Therapy for Survivors of Trauma From Workplace Accidents in Queens NY

A workplace accident can change more than your routine. Even after physical injuries begin to heal, the emotional and psychological effects can remain. You might be struggling with anxiety, flashbacks, mood swings, or difficulty concentrating. These symptoms are often invisible to others, yet they can deeply affect your relationships, career, and sense of self.

At the Center for Cognition & Communication in Queens, NY, we provide specialized therapy for survivors of trauma resulting from workplace accidents. Our trauma-informed, evidence-based approach is designed to support both the emotional and cognitive recovery process. We understand the complex intersection between brain, behavior, and work-related trauma, and we’re here to help you navigate it.

 

Understanding the Psychological Impact of Work-Related Trauma

Experiencing or witnessing a serious accident at work can result in symptoms similar to post-traumatic stress. Many survivors don’t initially connect their emotional symptoms to the event itself. You may feel off, disconnected, or overwhelmed without knowing why.

Common trauma-related responses after a workplace injury include:

• Intrusive thoughts or flashbacks
  • Replaying the accident or parts of it, often at unexpected times
• Avoidance behaviors
  • Feeling nervous about returning to work or being near similar environments
• Emotional dysregulation
  • Irritability, sadness, or sudden anger that feels hard to control
• Cognitive fog
  • Difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or staying organized
• Sleep disturbances
  • Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or feeling unrested
• Hypervigilance or anxiety
  • Feeling constantly on edge or easily startled

These reactions are not signs of weakness. They are natural responses to trauma, and they can improve with the right care.
