Trauma and Abuse
Trauma and abuse involve experiences that cause significant harm, distress, or violation of an individual’s physical, emotional, or psychological well-being. Trauma refers to the lasting effects of distressing events that overwhelm a person’s ability to cope, leaving deep emotional wounds. Abuse involves intentional harm or mistreatment inflicted by others, whether it is physical, sexual, emotional, or psychological.
Both trauma and abuse can have profound and long-lasting impacts on mental health, relationships, and overall quality of life. Survivors may experience symptoms such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), low self-esteem, and difficulties with trust and intimacy.
Seeking support and professional help is crucial for individuals who have experienced trauma or abuse. Therapeutic interventions, such as trauma-focused therapy, counselling, and support groups, can aid in processing the trauma, developing coping mechanisms, and fostering healing and recovery.
