Trauma Focused Counselling

Trauma is when we experience a very stressful, frightening or distressing event. There are many examples of traumatic events, which include (but not limited to)

 

  • Sexual or physical violence

  • Neglect

  • Emotional abuse

  • Witnessing domestic abuse

 

These situations can make us fear for our safety, and change the way our brains process information. These events can happen once or over a long period of time. Some of the effects of trauma are listed below:

​

  • Feelings of shame & self-blame

  • Loss of safety, sense of own boundaries & trust

  • Dissociation and loss of physical connection to the body

  • Low self-worth and sense of self 

  • Flashbacks

  • Panic attacks

  • Sleep problems

  • Self harm or self neglect

  • Suicidal feelings

  • Alcohol and substance misuse 

​

It is important to remember that trauma affects people in different ways.

  • Teimladau o gywilydd a hunan-fai

  • Colli’r teimlad o ddiogelwch, ymdeimlad o ffiniau bersonol ac ymddiriedaeth
