Trauma
Trauma is not what happened to you, it is what happened inside you as a result. The right therapy enables processing and healing.
What is Trauma?
Trauma results from experiences that overwhelm the nervous system's capacity to cope. It can follow a single event or prolonged exposure to adverse circumstances. EMDR, trauma-focused CBT and narrative exposure therapy are all highly effective treatments.
