WHAT IT IS
Understanding trauma
Trauma can come from a single event or from ongoing difficult experiences. It can show up as flashbacks or numbness, hypervigilance or avoidance, or as a sense that your body still remembers something your mind has tried to set aside.
Trauma therapy is careful and unhurried. The right therapist won't push you to revisit anything before you're ready. They work with you to build safety first, and to slowly process what happened in a way that feels manageable - not overwhelming.
