Trauma and post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Trauma is an experience or series of events deeply painful and overwhelming that generate a wound, challenge the ability of response and have a lasting impact on the psyche, physiology, and health of a person, affecting the way in which it relates to the world.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop after experiencing or witnessing events extremely stressful or traumatic. The symptoms include intrusive memories of the traumatic event, nightmares, recurring, avoidance of places or situations related to the trauma, and an exaggerated reaction to stress. People with PTSD often feel trapped in the past, affecting your ability to enjoy the present.
The trauma can leave a deep imprint on the lives of people, affecting their emotional well-being and their capacity to interact with the world around them. It is crucial to address the trauma with understanding and empathy, offering support and resources that help people to heal and recover from these painful experiences. Using specific therapies and strategies of self-care, it is possible to work to overcome the effects of trauma and find a path to healing and resilience.
