What is Trauma?
Trauma isn’t just the event itself, but the lasting impact it leaves on your emotional, physical, and psychological well-being. It occurs when an experience overwhelms your ability to cope and disconnects you from your sense of self. Trauma may result from neglect, stress, or unmet emotional needs in childhood, not just overt violence or abuse. Experts believe trauma is more about the internal disconnection that develops within you, shaping how you experience the world and relate to yourself and others.
PTSD: Post-traumatic stress disorder involves symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance following a traumatic event.
Complex PTSD (C-PTSD): Arising from prolonged trauma, often in relationships, it includes difficulties with self-identity, emotional regulation, and interpersonal challenges.
What is Trauma Therapy?
Trauma therapy helps individuals process and heal from their traumatic experiences. At Evolve Therapy, our therapists use evidence-based methods to guide you through this journey. The focus is on reducing symptoms like anxiety and hypervigilance while helping you regain emotional balance and well-being.
