Have you experienced an event that left a strong emotional imprint on you, and you're unsure how to properly process it? Do unpleasant memories keep coming back to you constantly? Are you finding it difficult to respond adequately in situations that remind you of the traumatic experience? Are you feeling fear, anger, sadness? Are you experiencing difficulties with memory and concentration? Trauma can impact your relationships and day-to-day functioning in everyday life.

Trauma is a psychological term used to describe highly negative and exceptional events that can cause deep emotional shock and affect an individual's psychological, emotional, and physical well-being. Trauma can arise from various situations such as violent attacks, accidents, disasters, wartime experiences, sexual abuse, the loss of a loved one, violence, or other events that disrupt the sense of safety and control. The manifestations of trauma can vary depending on individuals and the severity of the event, but they typically include emotional reactions like fear, anxiety, sadness, anger, as well as physical symptoms such as sleep disturbances, nightmares, muscle tension, a sense of constant threat, decreased concentration, and issues with interpersonal relationships. An individual who has experienced trauma may also struggle with regulating emotions and responding to stimuli associated with traumatic events. Trauma can lead to long-term psychological consequences such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTS
D), depression, anxiety, dissociation, and other mental difficulties.
