Trauma Counselling in Norwich
Trauma can affect how we think, feel and relate to ourselves long after a difficult experience has passed.
You may find yourself feeling constantly alert, emotionally numb, overwhelmed by certain situations or struggling with relationships without fully understanding why.
Trauma is not defined solely by what happened. It's also about the impact those experiences continue to have on your nervous system, sense of safety and emotional wellbeing.
Understanding Trauma
Trauma can arise from:
-
Childhood neglect
-
Emotional abuse
-
Physical abuse
-
Domestic abuse
-
Bullying
-
Loss and bereavement
-
Sudden life events
-
Relationship trauma
-
Complex childhood experiences
Many people blame themselves for responses that are actually normal reactions to difficult experiences.
