Trauma is the response to a deeply upsetting or disturbing event that interferes with the ability to cope. Individuals who have trauma report feeling helpless, lacking in confidence, a damaged sense of self and feeling removed from their full range of emotions. Trauma can be experienced as feeling a loss of control, betrayed, abused, emotionally pained, confused and intense sense of loss.

Trauma can result from an overwhelmingly negative occurrence that causes a lasting impact on mental and emotional functioning. Causes of trauma include sexual assault, domestic violence, serious illness or injury, death or loss of a loved one, witnessing violence, natural disaster.
