TRAUMA PSYCHOLOGIST
Trauma is defined as any very stressful experience that affects someone's
ability to function or well-being, whether it occurs to them or is observed by
them. It is a potentially life-threatening occurrence or encounter that
compromises one's own or others' safety.
Trauma psychology and trauma-focused cognitive behaviour therapy are
linked. Post-traumatic stress syndrome is one of the most common disorders
addressed in trauma psychology (PTSD). Individuals who have been through a
particularly traumatic occurrence are likely to endure long-term consequences.
To put it another way, these people are constantly reliving the terrible
experience to the point where it is interfering with their daily lives.
“Trauma is a fact of life. It does not, however, have to be a life sentence.”
-Peter A. Levine.
