Trauma Looks Different For Everyone
Trauma is a response to any event that leaves you feeling overwhelmed, helpless, out of control or frightened. It has an immediate effect on the brain because you likely went into survival mode. In this mode, you cannot process your thoughts and thus you get intrusive thoughts that make you feel out of control. No wonder it is so difficult. It can stem from a variety of experiences, including:
- Physical or emotional abuse
- Natural disasters
- Accidents
- Violence or crime
- Loss or grief
- Chronic stress
Each person’s reaction to trauma is unique, and there’s no right or wrong way to feel. It’s important to your feelings and understand that they are valid. Trauma therapy sessions with our practice work towards helping you recognize the root of your trauma so that you can live a life feeling more comfortable to be yourself in every situation.
The Impact Of Trauma Can Be Lasting
The impact of trauma on the emotional and mental stability of an individual cannot be overlooked. Some people experience trauma at an early age that shapes and molds the way they perceive people and the world around them. Other people may have a traumatic
experience later in life that prohibits them from functioning like they did before. In both cases, trauma has stemmed from a situation or occurrence that has altered an individual’s ability to move on from the past, leaving them feeling stuck in a never-ending cycle.
It is our mission to help individuals find peace within themselves so that they can look at the good and the bad that they have experienced, and move forward with a newfound sense of confidence and empowerment.
