These emotions can be overwhelming and can often lead to adverse effects, such as difficulty sleeping, health concerns, social withdrawal, self-compromise, and an overall compromised capacity to function in one’s self-esteem, relationships and other life pursuits.
Due to the nature of the effects of trauma, it can be extremely difficult to generally cope across a range of situations, which can lead to feelings of helplessness.
While it is normal for traumatic experiences to cause emotional hardship, getting support and learning ways to cope through distressing life events can help with managing and eventually overcoming the significant barriers and psychological responses relating to traumatic events.
