Understanding Trauma and How Therapy Can Help
Trauma is a term that often carries a heavy weight. It encompasses experiences that can significantly impact an individual's mental and emotional well-being. From childhood adversity to traumatic incidents in adulthood, the effects of trauma can linger long after the triggering events have passed. Fortunately, understanding trauma and seeking effective therapy can lead to healing and recovery.
