What Is Trauma?

Trauma can be defined as a psychological, emotional response to an event or an experience that is deeply distressing. Survivors of trauma can be left with feelings of anger, shame, isolation and despair. 

PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) can develop after you have been exposed to an intensely traumatic event. You can feel guilt or responsibility for the event, and even hopelessness. Anyone can experience trauma, regardless of race, gender, economic status, or religious background.
