Common Pain Points

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt.

Constant Hypervigilance

After experiencing trauma, children with PTSD may remain in a state of hypervigilance, always on edge, anticipating that danger could strike again. This constant alertness can lead to exhaustion and interfere with their daily functioning.

Avoidance of Reminders

Children with PTSD may avoid people, places, or situations that remind them of the traumatic event. This avoidance can isolate them, preventing them from processing their trauma and moving forward.

Unwanted Memories and Flashbacks

Children may experience intrusive memories or flashbacks, reliving the trauma as if itโ€™s happening again. These episodes can be distressing and disrupt their sense of reality, making it difficult to feel safe in the present.

A word from our Families

I had the chance to check out Pathformers on my phone and computer, and let me tell you, the computer version really blew me away. The site’s beautiful aesthetic and diverse family photos and videos really capture the richness of family life. The topics they talk about are super helpful, and navigating the site is a breeze, especially with the filters that stay put until you change them. Dr. Klein explains things in a way that’s easy to get, which I think will hit home for a lot of people, not just parents like us. I’m actually pretty excited to tell my colleagues about it. We’re always looking for meaningful ‘lunch and learns’, and I really think Pathformers could be a big hit with us and others.

When looking for information on children’s mental health, parents can feel frantic and hasty to understand what’s happening with their child. There’s a sense of hopelessness coupled with the worry, “Is my child the only one going through this?” Dr. Maya’s calm and welcoming demeanor provides an unsaid sense of normalcy. It’s as if she’s reassuring us, โ€œHey, I’ve seen this before. We can approach these topics calmly together because I know there is light at the end of the tunnel.โ€ The “Get Started” process is super easy to use too. It feels like you’re building a recipe for the areas where your child needs help. This is the kind of information that someone would expect to have in a therapy session, so you get the experience of therapy without any requirement beyond a monthly commitment of $50. Because of this I think that Pathformers is a solid investment for parents and anyone else looking for information on child psychology.
