Understanding Trauma & How It Affects You
Trauma may come from many sources such as abuse, violence, accidents, loss, or ongoing stress. While everyone responds differently, common effects include:
-
Intrusive memories or flashbacks
-
Feeling “on edge” or easily startled
-
Trouble trusting others or maintaining relationships
-
Difficulty sleeping or concentrating and depression
-
Numbness, disconnection, or feeling unsafe
Trauma therapy creates space to explore how your experiences have affected you, while building strategies to cope, heal, and move forward.
