Talking Trauma
Trauma may result from a singular event or a pattern of repeated traumatic experiences, leading to overwhelming emotions of pain, fear, or aversion. While we commonly associate trauma with military veterans or survivors of violent crime, the definition of psychological trauma has expanded to encompass physical, sexual, and verbal abuse.
EFFECTS OF EMOTIONAL TRAUMA
Codependent individuals often suppress their emotions and neglect their own needs, leading to relationship trauma and significantly diminished self-esteem. This pattern involves prioritizing others’ needs at the expense of their own well-being.
PTSD, a trauma and stress-related disorder, arises from life-threatening events or psychological trauma. Those who undergo sudden, distressing flashbacks or recurring nightmares may be experiencing symptoms of PTSD.
