  • Understanding Trauma


    Trauma refers to an emotional response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms an individual’s ability to cope. Examples include abuse, accidents, loss, or ongoing stressors like discrimination or systemic inequities.


    Possible Triggers: Triggers are stimuli that remind individuals of past traumatic experiences, leading to emotional or physical reactions. Common triggers include:
    Specific sounds, smells, or sights.


    Certain words, tones of voice, or gestures.
    Places or situations reminiscent of the traumatic event.
