What is Trauma and How Does It Affect You?

Trauma is your mind and body’s reaction to events that feel overwhelming, dangerous, or deeply distressing. It’s not just the event itself—it’s how your brain processes and stores the experience. For many, trauma can lead to feelings of fear, helplessness, or shame that linger long after the event has passed.

At Deer Hollow, we know trauma affects everyone differently. Some people experience vivid flashbacks, while others struggle with unexplained sadness or physical pain. If you’ve been feeling stuck, we’re here to help you heal.

What Are the Most Common Causes of Trauma?

Trauma can stem from various experiences. Common causes include:

  • Childhood Trauma: Neglect, physical abuse, or emotional abandonment can leave lasting scars.
  • Domestic Violence: Repeated exposure to abusive relationships impacts self-esteem and safety.
  • Sexual Abuse or Assault: Violations of personal boundaries often result in feelings of shame and mistrust.
  • Medical Trauma: Surviving serious illness or invasive procedures can leave you feeling powerless.
  • Grief and Loss: Sudden loss of a loved one or other major life changes can create emotional wounds.

What Are the Symptoms of Unresolved Trauma?

Unresolved trauma manifests in many ways. Some symptoms are emotional, while others are physical or behavioral:

  • Emotional Symptoms: Anxiety, depression, feelings of emptiness, or anger.
  • Physical Symptoms: Chronic pain, sleep disturbances, fatigue, or headaches.
  • Behavioral Symptoms: Avoidance of people or places, difficulty trusting others, or substance abuse.

If these symptoms resonate with you, it’s time to take action. Trauma can feel overwhelming, but healing is possible with the right support.

The Impact of Untreated Trauma

Ignoring trauma doesn’t make it go away—it makes it grow. Untreated trauma can have devastating consequences, including:

  • Worsened Mental Health: Trauma often leads to chronic anxiety, depression, or even PTSD.
  • Physical Health Issues: Studies link unresolved trauma to chronic conditions like heart disease and autoimmune disorders.
  • Relationship Struggles: Many individuals with unresolved trauma struggle to trust others or maintain healthy connections.
  • Substance Abuse: Turning to alcohol or drugs to numb the pain is a common yet harmful coping mechanism.

At Deer Hollow, we focus on addressing these issues at their root, helping you break free from trauma’s grip. Don’t let it control your life.
