Trauma

Trauma is a first hand experience or witnessing or being a part of something dangerous, threatening or scary. Trauma can be a one-time event or complex (happen repeatedly over a span of time). Trauma can range anywhere from emotional, verbal, financial and sexual abuse to being in a war, seeing a horrible car crash, constant medical problems, etc. Everyone copes with trauma differently. In therapy, the primary goal is that we cultivate safety and trust in order to process, work through this pain so that you can move forward from your trauma.
