As a trauma therapist, when working with someone who has experienced trauma, I focus on creating safety and building trust as an initial stage, offering psychoeducation so people can understand what's happening in their brains and bodies as well as what's happened to them, identifying strategies to cope with the flashbacks, nightmares, and panic attacks, and reclaiming a sense of power and control.

Trauma is anything that overwhelms our capacity to cope and can possibly lead to PTSD.
Trauma isn't about the event per se, it's about how the person perceives the event and is impacted by their identities and past experiences.
Trauma can have a profound and lasting impact on mental health. It can disrupt a person's sense of safety, security, connection, and trust, leading to a range of emotional, psychological, and behavioral challenges.
There are many forms of trauma, and no two experiences are the same even if the people shared a traumatic experience.
