You can definitely at any point seek help for your traumatic experience. If you are thinking about getting help, that is likely a cue that you are ready to get help. Our body and mind seems to let us know when we are ready and able to face what happened to us. It's definitely not to late. See if you can find a professional who specializes in trauma work. If not, then see if they have experience in working with trauma survivors. The International Society for the Trauma and Dissociation has a Find a Therapist link if you want to see if there might be a trauma specialist in your area.

The right time to get help is when you feel ready for it, no matter how long it takes. It's actually very common for people to need a long time to process everything and be ready to get support, you're not alone and your experience is not less valid because of this.

It's never too late to get help. If you feel that you might benefit from getting help, that's what's important and time is no restriction here. You can still overcome your feelings towards it and learn how to move on in a proper manner.

It is never to late to ask or receive help. There is still a permanent memory on what had happened, you should get counseling or talk to a therapist.

No matter how long it has been since the traumatic experience you can still access help and support for it. I work with veterans who were in the army and more often than not it takes 5 years for them to access any support to deal with PTSD. At the time they don't identify the traumatic experience as an issue and as the years go by the reality of it hits them and that's when they access support. It is never too late to access help and support for a traumatic experience.

It is never ever too late to get help. Most people only find out years afterwards that they are actually still not over the traumatic experience that they believed they were and starting to realize also how it is affecting your day to day life including relationships. Also some people prefer not to get help right after a traumatic experience because they just want to forget what happened and move on. There is always help and it is never to late.

Yes, nothing is too late and help is always available around you. Even your friends and family can be the source of your support. Don't be afraid to search for answers and start your own healing process. :)

It's never too late to get help. Sometimes, if we don't get help in dealing with our traumatic experiences, they can lead to problems later on in life, but It is never too late to get help.

It` s never too late! No matter how long ago, if you suffer from the experience, it would be a good idea to work through this, for example with a therapist. They will take you serious, you aren`t alone with this problem.
