What is trauma?

Trauma is the emotional aftermath of distressing events that can leave lasting scars. It occurs when stress overwhelms, making it difficult to cope or integrate emotions with the experience.

In essence, it's the lingering emotional wound that needs healing.

How does it feel?

Suddenly, an emotion or memory hits, and you're in excruciating psychological pain. You crave to forget, to heal, to move on.

Coping mechanisms come into play, yet in cases of developmental trauma in children, these may manifest as rage, affection-seeking, or approval-seeking.

The downside?

Instead of addressing the trauma, coping mechanisms often mask the emotional pain, leading to ineffective solutions. Seeking relief, some turn to drugs or alcohol, a temporary fix that deepens into addiction over time.

Why therapy?

Trauma can stem from various life events, and its repercussions can be debilitating if not treated properly. Filled with uncertainty, fear, and confusion, trauma-informed care views emotional distress through the lens of trauma, addressing issues like abuse, bullying, prejudice, or oppression.
