When to Consider Therapy for Trauma
Trauma can result from a single event, a series of experiences, or prolonged exposure to difficult circumstances. Its effects also vary considerably from one person to another. Some individuals experience symptoms of PTSD, while others might struggle with:
- Persistent fear
- Avoidance
- Difficulty trusting people
- Sleep disturbances
- Intrusive memories
- Feeling disconnected from themselves or others
Trauma can also intersect with grief and loss when a painful experience involves the death of someone important or another significant loss.
