Trauma and Anxiety 

 

Many of us can relate to moments when our minds get stuck on negative thoughts, making it challenging to focus on the present. Have you ever found yourself constantly worrying about various aspects of your life, even when things seem to be going well? Anxiety can manifest in various ways, such as a racing heart, restlessness, or a sense of unease without a clear trigger. These feelings may become overwhelming, impacting your daily life and making it crucial to develop effective coping strategies to regain control

​

Trauma symptoms often show up in our day-to-day lives, impacting relationships, emotions, and overall well-being. Trauma can occur for various reasons, such as experiencing a life-threatening event, physical or emotional abuse, or witnessing a distressing incident. Are there specific situations or events that tend to provoke feelings of fear or discomfort for you? Sometimes, the impact of trauma can lead to avoidance or hypervigilance, altering your behaviors in an attempt to manage these overwhelming emotions. Recognizing these symptoms is a crucial step in understanding the impact of trauma and seeking support to facilitate healing.
