What is Trauma?
There’s no single way to define trauma; the way I view it is an extremely distressing event, or events, that change the way one sees themselves, others, or the world. Left untreated, the negative beliefs, or narratives, we attach to the trauma can become more deeply ingrained over time.
Types of trauma we could address together
sexual violence
child abuse/ neglect
traumatic loss
generational trauma
racial trauma
hate based violence/ bullying
religious trauma
domestic violence (includes emotional, verbal, etc)
Other concerns commonly associated with trauma
self harm
suicidal ideation
eating disorders
OCD
addictions
