The Intersection of Trauma and Mental Health: Healing and Recovery

Anne Nelson

Trauma is an experience that overwhelms an individual’s ability to cope, often resulting in lasting emotional and psychological distress. It can be caused by a variety of events, such as physical or sexual assault, natural disasters, accidents, or the sudden loss of a loved one. Trauma can have a profound impact on an individual’s mental health, affecting their ability to form relationships, function at work or school, and experience joy and pleasure in life. However, with the right support and treatment, it is possible to heal from trauma and achieve recovery.
