Trauma FAQs
Trauma can be experienced by ANYONE. Trauma does not discriminate on what type of person can be impacted by it. A person can experience trauma as a result of an incident (or incidents) in which they felt a threat to safety and a lack of control. Trauma therapy is a safe environment in which a therapist can assist a person with how to cope with the emotional stress that traumatic events create.
