Trauma and PTSD involve common reactions to serious, disturbing, and traumatic events.

Those who have experienced trauma may experience flashbacks, intrusive memories, and nightmares about a traumatic event. They may avoid situations, conversations, and other reminders of what happened, develop strong beliefs about themselves, others, and the world around them, and feel very strong, negative emotions such as anger, fear, guilt, and shame. PTSD can develop from getting “stuck” in these trauma responses, and evidence-based trauma therapy can help people get “unstuck” and lead healthier and happier lives.
