When an individual experiences a distressing event or situation, they may experience a trauma response. Trauma can leave a person feeling stuck by interfering with their ability to adapt — leaving a person feeling overwhelmed, stripping them of their sense of security, and questioning their self-worth.
Examples of traumatic events include:
Accident/Injury
Abuse
Attack
Life-threatening illness
Natural disaster
Exposure to death or crime
Knowledge of disturbing information (aka secondary trauma)
Symptoms of trauma can manifest within us in a variety of ways. Common symptoms of trauma include:
Avoidance behaviors
Sleep disturbances and Nightmares
Intrusive thoughts
Hypervigilance
Changes in behaviors
Anger or irritability
Numbness
If you are experiencing any or all these symptoms, you are likely “stuck” in the trauma response.
