It's Complicated

Find a therapist that can help with Acute Stress Disorder

Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) is a mental health condition that can occur in individuals who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. It is a short-term condition that usually develops within a month of the traumatic event and can cause significant distress and impairment in daily life. People with ASD may experience a range of symptoms related to the traumatic event, such as intrusive thoughts or memories, avoidance of reminders of the event, negative mood, and hyperarousal. These symptoms can affect their ability to function in their daily life and can lead to additional mental health concerns, such as anxiety and depression.

About It's Complicated

In 2019, two therapists set out to tackle a complicated problem.

The psychiatrist Carl Jung once wrote that, “Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble”. One does not have to be a therapist, though, to realize that life is complicated. But finding the right therapist, who you can build a strong relationship with, shouldn’t have to be. This is the founding principle of It’s Complicated.Since our start, we've helped over 23,000 clients and counting, offering thousands of free crisis support hours, and built thriving therapy communities in Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Munich, and Athens.
