Trauma
When something deeply painful or overwhelming happens, it can leave a lasting impact on your mind, your body, and your sense of safety in the world.
Key information you should know
- Trauma may result from abuse, accidents, loss, or violence.
- It can cause flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, or hypervigilance.
- Trauma impacts relationships and daily functioning.
- Treatments like Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) help process trauma at your own pace.
Trauma doesn’t always look the way people expect, it might show up as sudden panic, a sense of detachment, or an inability to relax, trust, or feel safe. You may find yourself replaying events in your mind, avoiding reminders, or feeling disconnected from those around you. These responses are not signs of weakness, they’re human reactions to experiences that were too much, too fast, or too frightening.
Our psychologists use evidence-based approaches such as TF-CBT and EMDR to help you gently process trauma, reduce distress, and reclaim a sense of safety and control. Healing is possible and support is available.
