Trauma can not be simply defined as “a deeply distressing or disturbing experience” as we will find when we google it. Trauma is much deeper and personal. Trauma does not only effect our thoughts and memories, it effects our brain development and our body.  Everyone experiences traumatic events differently. It is not for us to judge what someone has gone through, but to support them through their recovery for the event(s). When working with clients of all ages that have experienced trauma, my goal is to help them learn how to continue to move in an upward direction and have a successful and productive future.
