What is Trauma?

Trauma can arise from a wide range of experiences that make us feel overwhelmed, unsafe, or helpless. Examples include violence, accidents, natural disasters, or ongoing abuse and neglect. Not everyone reacts to these events in the same way, and what one person finds traumatic might not affect another to the same degree.

Trauma-Informed Therapy: A Path to Healing

Trauma-informed therapy recognizes the impact of trauma on a person’s life. It’s not a specific technique, but an approach that tailors therapy to your unique experiences and needs. Key elements include:

Safety: Creating a physically and emotionally safe space for healing.

Collaboration: Working together to set goals and make treatment decisions.

Transparency: Being open and honest about the therapy process.

Competency: Ensuring therapists are trained in the latest trauma-informed practices, respecting culture and diversity.
