Trauma

Trauma
As the word trauma has entered the popular lexicon, there has been an outsized focus on labeling experiences themselves as traumatic. While certain events are widely recognized as traumatic by nature—such as poverty, abuse, neglect, violence, and disaster—from a clinical standpoint, what matters most is how an individual’s internal state is altered by the experience.
This is true for events commonly referred to as “small t” traumas (e.g., divorce, job loss) as well as “big t” traumas (e.g., active combat, physical abuse). The impact of an event is not determined solely by the event itself, but by how it is processed and integrated by the person who experiences it.
An individual’s response to a potentially traumatic event is shaped by factors, including perceptions, expectations, distress tolerance, values, access to support and more. As a result, multiple people can live through the same event and be affected in vastly different ways.
When the emotional and psychological effects of an event persist long after the threat or stressor has resolved – and continue to interfere with wellbeing, functioning, or sense of safety – a trauma-related disorder may be present.

Most importantly, our specialist provides transparency, accessibility, and ease to you along the treatment journey.
