What is considered Trauma?
Trauma occurs when a person has experienced a distressing event that
made them feel threatened, anxious, or frightened as a result. A
traumatic event is an incident that causes physical, emotional,
spiritual or psychological harm.
Trauma has no boundaries with regard to age, gender, socioeconomic
status, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation. Trauma is a common
experience for adults and children. Although some people who experience
a traumatic event live without lasting negative effects, others will
have difficulties and experience traumatic stress reactions. How someone
responds to a traumatic experience is personal.
Examples of Traumatic Events:
* Death
* Divorce
* Physical pain
* Serious illness
* War
* Moving
* Parental abandonment
* Witnessing a death
* Domestic abuse
* Sexual abuse
* Verbal abuse
* Bullying
Often there are no visible signs but people may have serious emotional
reactions. Shock and denial are often first and are used to protect
oneself from the emotional impact of the event. Again, how someone
responds to a traumatic experience varies.
Common Traumatic Stress Reactions:
* Irritability
* Sudden, dramatic mood changes
* Anxiety and nervousness
* Anger
* Denial
* Depression
* Flashbacks
* Difficulty concentrating
* Insomnia
* Changes in appetite
* Withdrawal from social interactions
* Numb feelings
Traumatic stress tends to evoke two emotional extremes: feeling either
too much (overwhelmed) or too little (numb) emotion.
Research has shown that traumatic experiences are associated with both
behavioral health and chronic physical health conditions. Substance
abuse, mental health conditions (depression, anxiety, PTSD), and other
risky behaviors have been linked with traumatic experiences. These
behavioral health concerns can present challenges in relationships,
careers, and other aspects of life.
It is important to understand the nature and impact of trauma and most
importantly EXPLORE HEALING.

Seeking treatment with a licensed Psychologist or mental health
clinician can help you find the optimal level of emotion to assist a
person with appropriately experiencing and regulating emotions. In
treatment, the goal is to help a person learn to regulate their emotions
without the use of substances or other unsafe behaviors.
