Trauma

Trauma is an emotional response to a distressing or life-threatening event, such as abuse, violence, accidents, or natural disasters. Complex trauma, on the other hand, involves exposure to multiple and prolonged traumatic events, often beginning in childhood, and is commonly associated with experiences of neglect, abuse, or interpersonal violence.

Both trauma and complex trauma can leave lasting imprints on a person’s physical, emotional, and psychological well-being, affecting their relationships, self-esteem, and overall quality of life. However, with compassionate and effective therapy, it is possible to foster resilience and promote healing.
