trauma narrative

A trauma narrative is a personal account that describes a person's experiences related to trauma—events that are deeply distressing or disturbing. This narrative allows individuals to articulate their feelings, thoughts, and reactions to the traumatic event, providing a structured way to process and make sense of their experiences. By sharing their story, whether through writing or speaking, individuals can begin to heal, gain perspective, and integrate the trauma into their life. Trauma narratives are often used in therapy to help people navigate their emotions and foster resilience after experiencing significant adversity.
