Understanding Trauma
Navigating the Aftermath of Stressful Circumstances

Ramifications of trauma can include unsettling emotions, flashbacks, and relentless anxiety. It can contribute to an elevated level of distress, melancholy and isolation.

Understanding Traumatic Experiences
From Overt Threats to Emotional Strain
Traumatic experiences can involve exposure to overt threats, but they can also include circumstances that are emotionally harrowing. These experiences can be distinct events, or ongoing stressors. Subjective emotional experience is what determines if an event is traumatic. The more intense the distress, the greater the potential to be traumatized.

Addressing trauma can foster a sense of empowerment. Like cutting anchors from a boat, it allows us to set sail untethered.
