Trauma

According to the Center for Addiction and Mental Health trauma is the lasting emotional response that often results from living through a distressing event . Experiencing a traumatic event can harm a person's sense of safety, sense of self, and ability to regulate emotions and navigate relationships.  Trauma is based on ones perception.  

Symptoms where past trauma is unresolved:

Re-Experiencing the traumatic event

Avoiding anything that might trigger a memory of the event

Changes in mood and cognitive ability

Reactivity or arousal around sensory experiences
