Trauma & PTSD

A traumatic event refers to an experience that inflicts severe emotional or physical damage, leaving individuals feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope. The specifics of traumatic events can vary from person to person, but they often involve feelings of isolation, fear, or helplessness resulting from actual or potential harm. Moreover, individuals may find that their usual coping mechanisms are insufficient to handle the situation. Immediately following a trauma, intense emotions, nightmares, and difficulties with day-to-day functioning may arise. Unfortunately, for some individuals, the distress lingers and may even worsen over time.

Seeking the assistance of a psychologist can be highly beneficial as they provide support in processing the traumatic experience, managing overwhelming emotions, and adapting to a changed perception of the world.
