Trauma Treatment in Atlanta, Georgia and Across Maryland

A trauma is an exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence. For example, traumatic events may include serious car accidents, physical or sexual assault, combat, the sudden and unexpected death of a loved one, torture, intensive medical procedures, or abuse, including childhood or domestic abuse.

Trauma can range from a single trauma exposure to chronic, repeated exposures to traumatic events. Trauma can result in distressing changes in mood, thoughts, and behavior and may result in psychological disorders, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

A stressor is an event or situation that causes stress. Stressors can range from annoying everyday hassles to events that are perceived as very dangerous.

When one encounters stressors, the body’s stress response is triggered, and a series of physiological changes take place to allow the person to activate the “fight or flight” nervous system.

Over time, stress can have a negative effect on our bodies both physically and psychologically.

Some stressors can be seen as traumatic events. Even stressors that are not necessarily traumas can cause a great deal of distress and difficulty in our lives.

Examples of common stressors include financial problems, interpersonal difficulties, work demands, life events, pregnancy, injury, deadlines, competition, etc.

Trauma therapy is a form of treatment designed to help individuals recover from the psychological effects of trauma. It uses various therapeutic techniques to help people process and heal from traumatic experiences, reducing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and emotional distress.

The length of trauma therapy varies based on the individual’s needs and the severity of the trauma. Some may benefit from a few months of treatment, while others may need longer-term therapy for deeper emotional healing.
