Psychotrauma

Psychotrauma refers to the emotional and psychological impact resulting from experiencing or witnessing distressing events, such as accidents, violence, or natural disasters. It can affect how a person thinks, feels, and behaves, often leading to feelings of fear, helplessness, or anxiety. For some, these effects persist over time, developing into conditions like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Psychotrauma influences the brain's processing of safety and threat, making recovery a process of understanding, processing, and healing from the emotional wounds caused by traumatic experiences.
