So What's All the Talk About "Trauma"?

Emotional trauma is a psychological and emotional response to an event or a series of events that are distressing, overwhelming, or mentally harmful. Trauma can result from various experiences, and its impact on individuals varies, from flashbacks, troubling memories, anger, or mental anguish. What defines an event as traumatic is subjective, as it depends on an individual's unique capacity to cope with and process challenging situations. Trauma can effect your current day-to day activities, holidays, events, family gatherings, and your sense of self.

Here are some ways to help alleviate trauma:

1. Accept your feelings surrounding the event. You may be caught up in resisting wanting to feel your feelings, but this is the first step in healing.

2. Forgive yourself. Accepting that you did the best you could at the time is critical in helping you heal.

3. Reach out to a mental health professional at Adele Sand Therapy who specializes in trauma recovery. Decide that you are worth it to feel better. Take a step toward bettering your present and your future.
