What is Trauma?
Trauma is any experience that leaves you feeling overwhelmed, unsafe, or deeply affected. It can take different forms. Sometimes it’s a “Big T” trauma, like a serious accident or a violent event that leaves an intense mark. Other times, it’s what we call “little t” trauma, which might include things like ongoing criticism, feeling neglected, or situations that gradually chip away at your self-worth. These experiences, big or small, can change how you see yourself and the world around you.
According to the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, 70% of U.S. adults (around 223.4 million people) have experienced at least one traumatic event in their lives.
Are You Struggling with the Impact of Trauma?
Living with trauma can make everyday life feel overwhelming. Trauma affects each person differently. Some may feel constantly on guard, others may struggle with sadness, anger, or even a loss of trust in the world.
Trauma therapy can help you face these painful feelings in a way that feels safe and supported. You don’t need to have all the answers or relive every moment to heal. Therapy can help you make sense of what happened and find ways to feel connected and secure again.
Types of Trauma
Trauma can take different forms, and understanding these can help you make sense of what you’re going through. Here are the three main types of trauma, each impacting you in unique ways:
- Acute Trauma
Acute trauma is when you experience a single, intense event, like a serious car accident or sudden loss. These events can shake your sense of safety, leaving you with lingering stress, fear, or shock. - Chronic Trauma
Chronic trauma happens when you face repeated stress or harm over a long period. This could be ongoing bullying, living in an unstable environment, or dealing with persistent situations that wear you down over time. - Complex Trauma
Complex trauma is the result of multiple traumatic events that happen over an extended period, often involving relationships or environments where you felt powerless. This type of trauma can deeply affect your sense of self and how you relate to others.
Understanding the type of trauma you’ve experienced can be a powerful step in healing. No matter what form your trauma takes, therapy can help you find relief and build resilience.
How Trauma Therapy Can Help You Reclaim Your Life
Trauma therapy is designed to gently guide you toward healing without re-traumatizing.
Reduce Fear and Avoidance
Trauma can lead to avoiding people, places, or situations that bring back painful memories. Therapy helps you face these fears safely, so you can live without constant worry or avoidance.
Build Confidence and Coping Skills
Trauma therapy offers tools to help you manage your responses to stress. With practice, you’ll find yourself feeling more confident and better able to handle challenging situations.
Challenge Problematic Beliefs
After trauma, you might carry beliefs that make life harder, like “I’m not safe” or “I can’t trust anyone.” Therapy helps you shift these beliefs, allowing you to feel safer and more open to others.
Imagine Life After Trauma Therapy
Imagine a life where trauma no longer defines your experience. Trauma therapy can help you let go of the weight of past events and feel more present in your life. Picture a future where you feel calm, confident, and able to enjoy meaningful relationships without the fear or isolation that trauma can bring. With the right support, this kind of peace and fulfillment is possible.
