• What is Trauma?Trauma is anything you have experienced, witnessed, or learned about that was debilitating. It can stem from a wide range of events, from personal loss to violence, abuse, or even natural disasters. Trauma has the power to disrupt your sense of safety, alter your worldview, and leave lasting emotional or psychological effects. These effects may not always be immediately visible, but they can manifest in ways that impact your relationships, mental health, and daily functioning. Over time, trauma can leave a scar that shapes how you perceive and interact with the world around you. Healing is a process, and while scars may fade, their impact can remain, influencing your journey toward recovery.

• What is TF-CBT?Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an integrative treatment model designed to help individuals heal from trauma. It combines trauma-sensitive interventions, cognitive behavioral techniques, and attachment theory to address how trauma affects relationships. TF-CBT also incorporates developmental neurobiology to explain the brain's response to trauma, family therapy to improve support systems, and empowerment therapy to restore a sense of control. Additionally, humanistic therapy encourages self-compassion and gentleness in the healing process. Together, these approaches provide a holistic framework for recovery and emotional well-being.

• What are some cognitive-behavioral symptoms of trauma?Cognitive symptoms of trauma can include irrational beliefs, such as thinking the trauma was your fault or that you deserved it, as well as distrust, initially toward yourself and later toward others. These symptoms may also involve a distorted self-image and a sense of loss or betrayal in social relationships, disrupting the trust and connections that typically support emotional well-being. Behavioral symptoms of trauma can include avoidance, such as reluctance to talk about the trauma or related topics, and modeling maladaptive behaviors, like acting out inappropriately through violence or sexualized actions. Other symptoms may include trauma bonding, where victims become emotionally dependent on their perpetrators, as well as anger, substance abuse, and self-injurious behaviors as coping mechanisms for emotional pain.
