Trauma

Trauma refers to the lasting emotional, psychological, and physical impact of overwhelming or distressing experiences. Trauma can result from a single event or repeated exposures and may include experiences such as abuse, neglect, violence, accidents, medical events, loss, or chronic instability. People respond to trauma differently, and symptoms can show up immediately or months or years later.

This category covers evidence-informed education on trauma and trauma-related conditions, including PTSD and complex trauma, common symptoms, triggers, nervous system responses, and how trauma can affect relationships, mood, sleep, and substance use. Many people with trauma histories also experience anxiety, depression, panic, emotional dysregulation, or compulsive coping behaviors. A comprehensive assessment helps clarify what is driving symptoms and what treatment approach is most appropriate.
