Trauma refers to a deeply distressing or disturbing experience that overwhelms an individual’s ability to cope. It can result from a single event such as an accident or assault or from prolonged exposure to stressful situations like abuse or neglect. Trauma affects both the mind and body often leading to emotional distress, flashbacks, anxiety or physical symptoms. Responses vary widely with some people recovering naturally while others may require professional support. Therapy, mindfulness and social support are key in managing its effects helping individuals process their experiences and regain a sense of control and well-being.
