Understanding Trauma & PTSD
Trauma refers to the emotional and psychological response to an event or series of events that are deeply distressing or disturbing. Such events could range from natural disasters and accidents to personal experiences like abuse or witnessing violence. Trauma can have long-lasting effects, leaving individuals feeling powerless, anxious, and detached from everyday life. It is a normal reaction to any abnormal situation, and recognizing its impact is the first step toward healing.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Unlike typical stress responses, PTSD involves persistent symptoms that interfere with a person’s daily functioning and overall well-being. PTSD can emerge weeks, months, or sometimes even years after the traumatic event.
While trauma and PTSD are related, they are not the same. Trauma can lead to various emotional and psychological responses, while PTSD is a specific condition characterized by specific symptoms and diagnostic criteria.
