Recovering from Trauma can look different for everyone. Healing and learning healthy coping mechanisms can take time.
When we experience Trauma in our life from a stressful event or situation, our sense of safety and security become threatened. A sense of overwhelm, isolation, and/or helplessness often accompany traumatic experiences. As a Bethesda Trauma Therapist, I know that Trauma can be one of the most devastating events both psychologically and physically.
