Therapy for Trauma in Tampa
Trauma can be defined as an emotional/physiological response to a distressing event. Trauma can impact several areas of a person’s well-being such as mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual. Trauma can be a one-time event, a prolonged event, or a series of events. Some examples of traumatic events may be emotional abuse, a car accident, the loss of a loved one, a break up, a natural disaster, experiencing racism/discrimination, sexual assault, and physical violence.
Trauma is a part of life. We all have experienced trauma, however there is a difference between processed trauma and unprocessed trauma. With unprocessed trauma, the distressing thoughts, feelings, images, and sensations can get trapped in the nervous system, and it can affect your view of yourself, others, and the world. Trauma can make it hard to trust other people, think positively about yourself, and feel safe in the world. You deserve to feel safe in your body, mind, and life. With a trauma therapist in Tampa, you can finally process what you've been through and heal from the past.​​
