Child Trauma
Psychological trauma is an emotional response that may set in after distressing, life-threatening, or otherwise terrible events. After the shock of the event has passed, long-term reactions may continue, including:
Extreme anxiety
PTSD
Difficulty forming meaningful relationships
Low self-esteem
Unpredictable emotions
Changes to thoughts and behavior patterns
Flashbacks
Sensitivity to environmental factors that “trigger” fear or stress experienced during the event
Even physical emotions like headaches and nausea
It is possible to overcome psychological trauma. Research shows that most people, over time, are able to bounce back from tragedy. If you child has experienced a traumatic event and is feeling persistent feelings of distress or hopelessness, it’s important to seek professional help to help them work through their emotions and reactions to that event.
