Trauma therapy focuses on helping individuals heal from the psychological and
emotional effects of traumatic experiences. Trauma can result from events like
physical or emotional abuse, accidents, natural disasters, war, or loss. It can lead to
symptoms such as anxiety, depression, flashbacks, emotional dysregulation, self-
esteem issues, difficulty concentration, negative feelings, sleep and appetite
changes, difficulty making trust, interpersonal conflict, avoidance, self-harm
behaviour, and physical health issues.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a specific condition that can develop after
experiencing trauma, characterized by intrusive memories, avoidance of triggers,
and hyperarousal.
Coping with trauma can be challenging:
- Acknowledge your feelings and avoid self-judgement
- Practice self-care
- Setting boundaries

- Establish routines
- and many more strategies !!!
Healing from trauma is a unique journey for each person. It may involve ups and
downs, but progress is possible with the right support and strategies.
