The word “trauma” comes from the Greek term for wound. Psychological trauma occurs when a sudden, unexpected event causes deep emotional harm. Just as physical injuries affect the body, traumatic experiences can wound the mind and psyche, sometimes leaving lasting effects if left unprocessed.
Professional support from a psychologist, therapist or counsellor can help process traumatic experiences and reduce their long-term impact. Trauma counselling and therapy are tailored to your specific needs, focusing on alleviating symptoms and fostering recovery.
Common Symptoms of Trauma
Individuals experiencing trauma may notice:
- Anxiety and constant worry
- Sleep disturbances or insomnia
- Flashbacks or intrusive memories
- Nightmares
- Depressive feelings
- Guilt or shame
Situations Often Addressed in Trauma Counselling
- Childhood trauma
- Abuse or sexual assault
- Accidents and personal injuries
- Physical assault or burglary
- Loss of a loved one
- Natural disasters or catastrophic events
How Trauma Counselling Helps
Trauma therapy and counselling provide a safe, confidential environment to:
- Process traumatic memories, thoughts and emotions
- Reduce the intensity and frequency of flashbacks and nightmares
- Address related symptoms such as depression, anxiety or emotional numbness
- Restore emotional balance and resilience
Through professional guidance, clients can regain a sense of control and gradually rebuild trust in themselves and their surroundings.
