Post-traumatic stress disorder and trauma can affect how you think, feel, and respond to the world around you long after a difficult or overwhelming experience. For many people, these responses develop as the brain and body try to protect you, even when the situation is no longer present.
It can show up as heightened stress, intrusive memories, emotional numbness, or feeling constantly on edge. You may notice strong reactions to certain triggers or find it difficult to feel safe, relaxed, or fully present. Understanding how trauma impacts your nervous system is an important first step toward healing, and creating a greater sense of stability and control.
These are the kinds of changes many people begin to experience as they process trauma and build a greater sense of safety and stability.
