About

When trauma has impacted you, or someone you love, it can feel like every aspect of your life has been upended. Not only does trauma change the way you see yourself and the world around you, but the impacts that follow (anxiety, depression, irritability, low self-esteem, substance use, dissociation, relationship disruptions) can leave you feeling hopeless about returning to a life that feels safe and manageable. However, as research in trauma continues, it all points to the same conclusion: there can be peace and fulfillment after trauma.
