Understanding Trauma: It's More Than Just a Buzzword

Trauma is a wound from the past that can prevent us from living free in the future. But not all anxiety is caused by complex trauma. In fact, many people can heal quickly with the right support system. However, for those with complex trauma, the impacts can be severe, persistent, and cumulative, affecting emotional and physical health, wellbeing, relationships, and daily functioning. It's a different animal that requires a trauma-aware approach. Unfortunately, trauma has become somewhat of a buzzword in today's trigger-happy world, leading to a romanticized view of it that can ultimately do more harm than good. It's time to understand trauma beyond the buzzword and provide effective support to those who need it.
