What is Trauma ?
According to the American Psychological Association (APA), trauma is "an emotional reaction to a horrific event such as an accident, rape, or natural disaster."
However, people can experience trauma in response to events they perceive as being physically or emotionally threatening or harmful.
A traumatized person may experience a range of emotions immediately after the event and over time. You may feel overwhelmed, helpless, shocked, or have trouble processing your experience. Trauma can also cause physical symptoms.
Trauma can have long-term effects on a person's well-being. If symptoms persist and do not decrease in severity, it may indicate that the trauma has evolved into a mental disorder called post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
