Many people experience trauma in their lifetime. While some individuals are able to recover with support from family and friends, distressing events can also have lingering effects and affect how a person views themselves and the world. Insight Life Counseling offers trauma therapy in Webster, Texas, to help clients process traumatic experiences and move forward with strength and resilience.
What Causes Trauma?
The effects of trauma are deeply personal. Trauma may be related to a single event, ongoing circumstances, or early life hardships. Some experiences that may result in trauma or PTSD include:
- Natural disasters
- Witnessing violence or crime
- Sudden loss or grief
- Childhood neglect
- Physical or emotional abuse
- Serious accidents or injuries
- Being the victim of assault
- Surviving a war or conflict
- Long-term illness or medical trauma
Trauma is different for everyone, but common symptoms include the following:
- Anxiety, depression, numbness, or guilt
- Intrusive thoughts, nightmares, or flashbacks
- Avoiding specific locations, sights, situations, and sounds that serve as reminders of the event
- Anger, irritability, and hypervigilance
- Aggressive, reckless behavior, including self-harm
- Loss of interest in activities
- Difficulty remembering details of the distressing event
- Change in habits or behavior since the trauma
A therapist’s support, guidance, and assistance are fundamental to healing from trauma.
