Trauma

Trauma can arise from a wide range of distressing experiences. It affects individuals differently and is an emotional response to the distressing experiences. Over time, these responses might evolve into more persistent issues, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) . Trauma therapy may be beneficial for you if you are experiencing intense feelings of emotional distress, intrusive thoughts related to a traumatic event, or wanting to understand how your past experiences are impacting your current thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
