PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA
Psychological trauma is characterized as a triggered response—often both physical and emotional—to a specific situation that reminds someone of an impactful event from the past. It is difficult to find a particular cause for trauma from person to person, as effects can vary drastically between cases. Individuals with psychological trauma are often diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Common symptoms involve avoidant behaviors, sudden and prolonged emotional or physical responses, risky behavior, mood swings, or a complete withdrawal from daily activities.
Those who have PTSD may practice avoidance of certain situations or attempt to suppress memories that remind them of their trauma to lessen these responses. Suppression can often lead to additional symptoms such as mood swings, explosive anger, risky behavior, or shutting down from daily life.
But there is hope. With professional guidance and treatment, individuals can work through
trauma to reach a better quality of life.
