Understanding Trauma

Trauma is a response to an overwhelming experience that leaves a person feeling helpless, vulnerable, and disconnected. It can be caused by a single event, such as a natural disaster, accident, or assault, or by prolonged exposure to adversity, such as childhood abuse or neglect.

Trauma can manifest in many different ways. Some people may experience flashbacks, nightmares, or physical pain. Others may feel detached from their emotions, have difficulty concentrating, or engage in self-destructive behaviors.

It is important to note that not everyone who experiences a traumatic event will develop PTSD. However, trauma can have a significant impact on a person's life, even if it does not meet the criteria for a clinical diagnosis.
