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.

  • sexual violence

  • child abuse/ neglect

  • traumatic loss

  • generational trauma

  • racial trauma

  • hate based violence/ bullying

  • religious trauma

  • domestic violence (includes emotional, verbal, etc)
