Trauma doesn’t just arise from big and short-lived events, like a car crash. A traumatic experience can be anything from past physical or sexual abuse to going through a painful divorce.
Whether an event happened recently or many years in the past, it can still cause feelings of trauma.
If such events continue to haunt us and we refuse to address our past, it can lead to difficulties in the present – in our current relationships, for example. You might find your life continues to be eclipsed by the events that happened in the past.
In some cases, this leads to PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), a disorder which can appear immediately after an event or many years later. Symptoms of PTSD can include flashbacks and nightmares; repetitive and distressing images or sensations; and physical sensations such as pain, sweating, feeling sick or trembling.
