Medical trauma is a deeply distressing emotional response to medical experiences such as serious illness, surgery, hospital stays, difficult diagnoses, chronic pain, or invasive procedures. For some people, these experiences can leave lasting psychological effects long after the physical treatment has ended. Clinical psychologist Dr Maria Tucknott provides compassionate and evidence-based therapy in Hertfordshire and online, to help you overcome what happened,

Many individuals who experience medical trauma report symptoms such as anxiety, panic attacks, nightmares, flashbacks, difficulty sleeping, heightened fear around hospitals or healthcare settings, and feeling constantly on edge. Medical trauma can affect anyone, and it may develop after a single event or build gradually over time through repeated medical experiences. At times, people can feel confused by their reactions, especially when others view the medical treatment as “successful.” However, trauma is not only about what happened physically. It is also about how overwhelming, frightening, or helpless the experience felt emotionally.

‍How Therapy Can Help

‍Dr Maria Tucknott draws on a range of evidence-based approaches, including EMDR Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), to help you process traumatic memories and reduce your emotional distress.
