Trauma

What is trauma?

Trauma is a deep emotional response to a distressing event that can overwhelm your ability to cope. It often elicits intense feelings of fear or helplessness, consuming your thoughts and emotions long after the event has passed. 

Trauma can have lasting effects on mental and physical well-being. It affects many aspects of life, including relationships, work, and daily functioning.
