Trauma/PTSD Treatment
Understanding Trauma & Finding Healing
Trauma is any event or series of events that cause physical, emotional, spiritual, or psychological harm. For some, trauma is clear and easily identified—they may vividly remember the moment it occurred and find themselves reliving those experiences involuntarily, with intrusive thoughts or memories that feel “stuck.”
Common Emotional & Psychological Symptoms of Trauma
- Shock, denial, or disbelief
- Confusion or difficulty concentrating
- Anger, irritability, or mood swings
- Anxiety and fear
- Guilt, shame, or self-blame
- Withdrawing from others
- Feelings of sadness or hopelessness
- Feeling disconnected or numb
Types of Trauma
Trauma can manifest in different ways, depending on its nature and duration:
🔹 Acute Trauma – Results from a single, isolated event, such as a car accident or workplace incident.
🔹 Chronic Trauma – Stems from repeated and prolonged exposure to distressing events, such as domestic violence or ongoing abuse.
🔹 Complex Trauma – Involves multiple, invasive, and interpersonal traumatic experiences over time, often combining both acute and chronic trauma (e.g., prolonged abuse by multiple individuals over many years).
