Traumatic Stress Response

Traumatic Stress Response refers to the emotional and physical reactions that occur after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, such as an accident, assault, or disaster. People may feel intense fear, confusion, or helplessness and can experience symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, or irritability. This response is normal and can vary in duration and intensity among individuals. It is the body's way of coping with overwhelming situations. Support, understanding, and sometimes professional help can assist individuals in processing their experiences and recovering from the stress associated with trauma.
