Trauma and Complex Trauma

Trauma and complex trauma are serious mental health issues that can have a lasting impact on an individual's life. Trauma is a psychological response to a distressing or disturbing event, which may involve violence, abuse, or a natural disaster. Traumatic events can leave a lasting impact on a person's mental and physical health, causing them to feel overwhelmed, anxious, and distressed. Complex trauma, on the other hand, refers to repeated or prolonged exposure to traumatic events or abusive situations, particularly in childhood.
