The after effects of a traumatic event can feel overwhelming. You may have a difficult time trusting others or the world around you. You may feel always on edge and have difficulty relaxing and with sleep, experience nightmares, or flashbacks. You also may have a hard time connecting with others or maintaining relationships. It is possible to move forward from trauma or a series of traumas with the help of a trauma informed clinician.

Understanding Trauma

Trauma can have profound and lasting effects on mental health. Individuals who experience traumatic events may develop conditions such as PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), anxiety, and depression. Symptoms can include intrusive memories, heightened emotional responses, and difficulty in managing stress. Traumatic experiences can alter brain function and hormonal balances, making it challenging for some to engage in everyday activities. Moreover, trauma often affects relationships and may lead to feelings of isolation, making it crucial for affected individuals to seek professional help and support to learn coping mechanisms and work through their experiences.
