What Is Trauma?
Trauma isn’t one single experience.
Trauma is anything that overwhelms your mind, body, or sense of safety.
Being sexually abused is trauma.
Being emotionally abused is trauma.
Being bullied is trauma.
A car accident is trauma.
Losing someone you love is trauma.
And the truth is this: any event that left you distressed, scared, unsafe, or changed in a way you didn’t choose — that is trauma.
