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. Trauma also compounds, so left untreated - the more trauma we experience the more ingrained the negative beliefs become.
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
