You or someone you care about has undoubtedly experienced some kind of significant trauma. Maybe it was a “big-T” trauma related to military casualties or losses, domestic violence, or childhood abuse. Or, perhaps it was a more common but no less significant “little-t” trauma related to the loss of a job or a friendship, a divorce, a painful childhood experience, or a situation where you felt worthless, afraid, or powerless. Untreated trauma can lead to long lasting effects such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and difficulties maintaining intimate relationships.
