Trauma and PTSD
Experiencing a traumatic event can have a profound impact on your emotional and physical wellbeing. Trauma can stem from events such as accidents, natural disasters, abuse, violence, or witnessing distressing situations. While many people recover from trauma with time and support, others may develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a condition where the effects of trauma persist and interfere with daily life.
PTSD can make it difficult to feel safe, focus, or connect with others. It often involves intrusive memories, emotional distress, and physical symptoms triggered by reminders of the trauma. Whether you’ve experienced a single traumatic event or repeated exposure to distressing situations, healing is possible. With the right care and support, you can process the impact of trauma and regain a sense of safety and control in your life.
