TRAUMA

Trauma can occur at any age due to events like abandonment, bullying, violence, health diagnoses, or abuse. It is an emotional response that can leave individuals feeling unsafe and overwhelmed, often causing physical reactions.

 

Symptoms may include anxiety, depression, destructive behaviors, sleep disturbances, and withdrawal. Psychotherapy is an effective treatment for trauma, helping individuals understand and manage their feelings while providing guidance on what to expect during therapy for post-traumatic stress.
