Trauma is a strong emotional response to a distressing event or series of events. It can leave lasting feelings of fear, anxiety, or sadness. The body reacts to trauma in various ways, often triggering a "fight, flight, or freeze" response. This reaction can lead to physical symptoms like increased heart rate, muscle tension, and hypervigilance. Trauma isn’t always conscious; it can unconsciously affect our thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. Unresolved trauma might lead to difficulties in trusting others, low self-esteem, or recurring negative patterns.

Trauma therapy helps people heal from these difficult experiences. The goal is to help you feel safer, regain control, and improve your overall well-being. By working with a therapist, you can uncover and address the hidden impacts of trauma, allowing you to heal more fully and lead a healthier, more balanced life.
