PTSD
PTSD can take over your thoughts, your body, and your sense of safety – but healing is possible with the right support.
Personalised residential care for those living with PTSD.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can feel like you’re stuck in survival mode – hyper-alert, emotionally reactive, shut down, or constantly reliving the past. Whether your trauma stems from a single event or long-term exposure, our one-on-one programs are designed to help you process what’s happened and move forward with strength and clarity.
Begin your personalised recovery journey.
Still feeling the effects of a past trauma?
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can leave lasting emotional and physiological imprints long after the traumatic event is over. It’s more than flashbacks or nightmares; it can show up as persistent fear, numbness, irritability, chronic anxiety, or a deep sense of disconnection.
If these feelings don’t ease with time, you may be experiencing PTSD and without proper support, it can lead to isolation, depression, and even substance use as a form of coping.
At Noosa Confidential, we understand how trauma reshapes the nervous system. Our one-on-one, residential programs help uncover what’s beneath the surface, rebuild safety in the body and mind, and support you in finding calm, connection, and clarity again.
Your journey to stability
Your Plan, Your Way
No guesswork, no one-size-fits-all. We start by hearing your story and digging deeper - reviewing past test results, running targeted assessments, and uncovering what’s really going on beneath the surface. Then we build a program tailored to you — including duration, therapies, medical interventions, and support structures that actually make sense for you.
Stabilisation & System support
We begin by calming the nervous system and supporting your body with functional medicine, nutrition, and somatic therapies. Nature therapy, equine sessions, and low-impact movement help restore safety, connection, and trust in your body. This sets the foundation for deeper emotional work to follow.
Event Retraining & Emotional Repattening
We use targeted, evidence-based therapies like EMDR, IFS, ACT, and trauma-focused CBT to work through unresolved pain, stuck patterns, and emotional numbness. For trauma and PTSD, we incorporate event retraining - a method that helps your brain reinterpret and release the charge of past events, reducing reactivity and restoring emotional regulation. This isn’t about revisiting trauma for the sake of it; it’s about shifting how your nervous system responds now.
Pain pattern reprogramming and relational repair are core here. Every session is one-on-one, tailored to your nervous system, and paced to promote deep, lasting change - grounded in neuroscience, not guesswork.
Aftercare
Recovery continues after you leave. Every client receives 12 months of structured aftercare, including a dedicated mentor for ongoing support, accountability, and real-world guidance - wherever life takes you.

FAQs
Understanding and recovery from PTSD
PTSD can develop after experiencing or witnessing trauma. It may cause flashbacks, avoidance, anxiety, or emotional numbness. These FAQs cover common questions about recognising and managing PTSD symptoms.
What are the common signs of PTSD?
PTSD symptoms can include flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, heightened anxiety, irritability, and avoidance of reminders related to the trauma. These can affect sleep, mood, memory, and day-to-day functioning.
Can PTSD show up months or years after the trauma?
Yes. PTSD doesn’t always appear immediately. Symptoms may emerge long after the event, especially when triggered by stress, life changes, or reminders of the trauma.
Does everyone who experiences trauma have PTSD?
No. Many people go through trauma without developing PTSD. PTSD occurs when the nervous system gets stuck in survival mode, and the symptoms become persistent, intense, and disruptive.
How is PTSD treated in a residential program?
We take an integrated approach to care – combining evidence-based therapies (like EMDR, CBT and somatic therapy) with medical, psychological, and environmental support to help clients process trauma safely and rebuild long-term emotional resilience.
What happens if I’m on medication?
Many of our guests arrive already on antidepressants or mood stabilisers. At NC, our clinical team is qualified to assess, diagnose, prescribe, and manage psychiatric medication.
If your goal is to reduce or come off medication, we’ll support that - but only if it’s safe, appropriate, and in your best interest. Any changes are made carefully, based on thorough testing, expert analysis, and what’s right for you.
We’re here to help.
