Trauma

Trauma is more common than you might think. In fact, around 70% of people will experience a traumatic event in their lifetime — whether it’s war, a serious accident, a natural disaster, sexual violence, or other distressing experiences.

While trauma affects everyone differently, it often leaves a lasting emotional and psychological impact that can interfere with daily life and relationships.

What is Trauma?

Trauma is the body and mind’s response to events that are deeply distressing or disturbing. These experiences can overwhelm your ability to cope, and without proper support, trauma can lead to long-term mental health challenges.

Common Symptoms of Trauma

If you or someone you know is experiencing the following symptoms, it may be a response to trauma:

• Nightmares, flashbacks, or intrusive memories

• Anger, irritability, or emotional outbursts

• Deep shame or feelings of worthlessness

• Anxiety or frequent panic attacks

• Feelings of depression, numbness, or hopelessness

• Difficulty concentrating or staying focused

• Loss of identity or disconnection from self (“Who am I?”)

• Avoidance of people, places, or situations

• Persistent negative thoughts or beliefs

These reactions are normal responses to abnormal situations — and they can be healed with the right care.
