Understanding PTSD/ Trauma
Trauma is a deeply impactful experience that can affect every aspect of a person’s life. Whether it arises from a single distressing event or prolonged exposure to adverse circumstances, trauma leaves lasting scars.
What Is Trauma?
According to the American Psychological Association (APA), trauma occurs when an individual faces an event they perceive as physically or emotionally threatening or harmful. Trauma can trigger a range of emotions immediately after the event and persistently over time. These emotions may include feeling overwhelmed, helpless, shocked, or struggling to process the experience. Additionally, trauma can manifest in physical symptoms.
Trauma encompasses a wide range of events, including accidents, violence, abuse, natural disasters, and loss. It disrupts our sense of safety, trust, and well-being.
Symptoms of Trauma
- Intrusive Memories: Recurrent, unwanted distressing memories of the traumatic event, flashbacks, or nightmares.
- Avoidance: Avoiding places, activities, or people that remind you of the traumatic event.
- Negative Changes in Thinking and Mood: Feelings of hopelessness, negative thoughts about yourself or others, memory problems, and difficulty maintaining close relationships.
- Changes in Physical and Emotional Reactions: Being easily startled, feeling tense or on edge, difficulty sleeping, irritability, angry outbursts, or engaging in self-destructive behavior.
