What is Trauma?
Trauma refers to the emotional response to a distressing or disturbing event, such as an accident, natural disaster, or personal assault. Traumatic experiences can have long-lasting effects on an individual’s mental and emotional health.
How it Negatively Affects Your Life:
Trauma can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Individuals may experience flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety, impacting daily functioning and quality of life. Trauma often leads to emotional numbness, detachment, and difficulties in maintaining relationships.
How Treatment Helps:
Trauma therapy provides a safe and supportive environment to process and heal from traumatic experiences. Techniques such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused therapy help individuals reduce symptoms and develop coping strategies. Therapy fosters resilience, emotional healing, and a sense of safety, enhancing overall mental health and well-being.
