FOUNDATIONAL ROOTS THERAPY
Trauma
Understanding trauma: Trauma isn't just about major, life-threatening events -- it's any experience that overwhelms your ability to cope, leaving a lasting imprint on your nervous system. This can include childhood experiences, relationship difficulties, medical events, accidents, loss, or ongoing stress. If you find yourself feeling stuck, anxious, disconnected, or triggered by things that seem "small" to others, unresolved trauma may be at the root.
