Trauma and Betrayal Trauma

Psychological trauma is an emotional response caused by severe distressing events. It is an emotional response with physical effects. Emotions are real and impact our life, outlook, behavior, and affect our physical health. Short term physical symptoms include anxiety, headaches, nausea, and high blood pressure. Many seek medication to treat the symptoms. Treating the symptoms can help but ignores the problem completely. Addressing the underlying cause with a qualified therapist can provide lasting relief.
