When we are exposed to traumatic events there can be lasting adverse effects on us. We may begin to feel unsafe, scared, hypervigilant, betrayed, and/or have difficulty trusting others, experience flashbacks or nightmares. We may also experience heightened emotions, including anger, aggression, shame, numbing, and/or isolation.

Some people cope with trauma by engaging in unhealthful and maladaptive behaviors such as overeating eating, tobacco use, drug and alcohol use, staying in unhealthy relationships, isolation, acting in rage or anger, engaging in reckless behavior, etc.

Symptoms of Trauma

Trauma activates the amygdala within the brain, resulting in our sympathetic nervous system releasing adrenaline and noradrenaline hormones. These hormones prepare the body for a fight-flight-or-freeze response. For infrequent and short periods of time, this is a normal response to trauma.

However, when our bodies experience frequent or long periods of time in which we are exposed to trauma and our body produces adrenaline and noradrenaline hormones, this can be concerning for our mental health, physical health, and overall well-being.

There are many other internal changes that happen within our bodies and brains when we experience trauma, abuse and/or neglect.

Thus, a complete trauma therapeutic assessment is vital to selecting the best trauma treatment to suit your specific needs.
