What is Trauma?

At some point, nearly everyone experiences an event that is deeply distressing or disturbing. When these events are too big to be easily resolved or processed, emotionally and/or mentally, we may begin to have related symptoms that affect how we feel, how we think, and how we live. Many of us may have experienced these events and experiences in childhood (developmental trauma). We may not understand these events as trauma, or even understand that these events have made an impact on us, because we have not know life without that trauma. Others of us have experienced trauma as adults and although we believe we have processed the trauma, the impact of the trauma can still have its hold on us. Trauma comes in different shapes and sizes and may effect each of us differently. However, there are recognizable signs and symptoms that can make life very difficult.
