Common Signs of Trauma

• If you’re struggling to cope with the aftermath of a distressing event, it’s important to understand what you’re experiencing.

• Trauma can result from experiences like accidents, abuse, natural disasters, or sudden loss, leading to profound emotional effects.

• Do you find yourself reliving the traumatic event through intrusive thoughts or flashbacks? This can be a hallmark sign of trauma.

• Feeling heightened anxiety, irritability, or emotional numbness are common responses to traumatic experiences.

• Are you avoiding reminders of the event, such as places, people, or conversations? This avoidance behavior can interfere with your daily life.

• Trouble sleeping, nightmares, or feeling constantly on edge can also indicate that you’re grappling with trauma.

• Do you struggle to concentrate or feel disconnected from yourself or your surroundings? These dissociative symptoms are often linked to trauma.
