TRAUMA & PTSD THERAPY IN CHICAGO
Understanding Trauma
Trauma can alter how you experience safety, trust, and control.
You may feel constantly alert or easily startled. You may avoid certain people, places, or conversations. Some individuals experience intrusive memories, nightmares, or emotional numbness. Others struggle with difficulty trusting others or feeling secure in relationships.
Trauma can stem from:
- Childhood abuse or neglect
- Sexual assault
- Relationship violence
- Medical trauma
- Accidents
- Community violence
- Chronic stress or systemic injustice
Trauma responses are not weaknesses. They are survival adaptations. Your nervous system learned to protect you.
However, when those responses remain activated long after danger has passed, they can interfere with daily life.
