The word “trauma” literally means wound, shock, or injury. Psychological trauma is a person’s experience of emotional distress resulting from an event that overwhelms the capacity to emotionally digest it.
Traumatic experiences undermine a person’s sense of safety in the world and create a sense that catastrophe could strike at any time.
Trauma-informed therapy considers the complex impact of trauma on an individual’s well-being and how it shapes a person’s ability to cope.
