Traumatic events typically cause an individual extreme or ongoing stress. Perceived threats or emotional experiences can be just as damaging as lived experiences.
The negative effects of trauma may go unnoticed by individuals for many years, causing unhealthy behavioural patterns and disruptive emotions. The relationship between past and present experiences may not ever be connected without safe and supportive treatment from a qualified therapist.
Once-off traumatic events are those that occurred at a single point in time. These events may include natural disasters, a car accident, a violent attack or accident or life threatening situation (like drowning).
Relentless or ongoing trauma is often deep-rooted. Ongoing or relentless trauma is an experience that was prolonged over a significant period of time, and regularly compromised a person’s sense of safety and security. These events are often pertaining to manipulation, abuse or neglect, like domestic violence or bullying.
Trauma may be an underlying cause of mental health concerns, like depression or anxiety, or other compulsive behaviours like substance misuse, gambling or overspending. Spending time exploring your life experiences with your qualified psychologist can help you establish the root cause of your unhelpful behaviours or unpleasant emotions.
Other symptoms include:
Trauma is a common response to an abnormal event.

– Eye movement sensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy
