Psychological trauma can affect your life for many years after the event or situation that caused it. It isn’t a problem that’s easily resolved, especially if you try to do it on your own. However, talk therapy has proven valuable in helping people overcome the distress, pain, and dysfunction that come from having lived through the most overwhelmingly threatening experiences. If you’re considering seeking help to get rid of past trauma and reclaim your life, understanding trauma therapy can help you feel more comfortable starting the process.
