Trauma refers to deeply distressing or disturbing experiences that overwhelm an individual’s ability to cope, leading to lasting emotional, psychological, or physical effects. It can result from a range of events such as accidents, abuse, natural disasters, or violence.
Trauma disrupts one’s sense of safety, trust, and control, often causing symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, or hypervigilance.
Its impact can endure, influencing relationships, behavior, and mental health. Treatment often involves therapy, support, and coping strategies to address and heal from traumatic experiences.
