Understanding Trauma

Trauma is a psychological response to deeply distressing or disturbing events that overwhelm an individual’s ability to cope. It can result from experiences such as abuse, neglect, accidents, natural disasters, loss of a loved one, or violence. Trauma can affect a person’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being, leading to long-term challenges if left unaddressed.

Signs & Symptoms of Trauma
Trauma can affect people differently, but common symptoms include:

• Emotional distress (anxiety, depression, mood swings)
• Intrusive thoughts, nightmares, or flashbacks
• Avoidance of certain places, people, or situations
• Hypervigilance, feeling on edge, or being easily startled
• Difficulty concentrating or memory issues
• Physical symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, or body pain
• Feelings of shame, guilt, or emotional numbness

How Trauma Affects the Brain & Body

When a person experiences trauma, their brain activates the “fight, flight, or freeze” response. The amygdala (which processes emotions) becomes hyperactive, while the prefrontal cortex (responsible for reasoning) may become less effective. This can make it difficult for individuals to regulate emotions and reactions. Trauma can also impact the nervous system, causing chronic stress, anxiety, or dissociation.

Every approach used by our team at The Positive Living Group is backed by research and success stories from the community.
