Let's Get Started: Understanding Signs of Trauma and Our Talk Therapy
Understanding Trauma
In its most condensed form, trauma is an event or a series of events that cause the mind to become overwhelmed. People then start depending on coping mechanisms to get themselves through any trauma triggers, leading to numerous unpleasant psychological symptoms.
Trauma is a complex phenomenon that affects everyone differently and on different factors. Some individuals who have experienced trauma may develop psychological resilience, while others use unhelpful ways to cope. Although not an inclusive list, here are some possible triggers and situations that increases the likelihood of trauma-related symptoms:
- Domestic abuse or violence
- Sexual abuse or assault
- Military service
- Abusive childhood
- Uncontrollable events like earthquakes and fires
- Grief and loss
- Emotional abuse
