Things That Cause Trauma: 12 Traumatic Situations We Fail To Recognize - Psychotherapy Crash Course
76What do you know about trauma?
What makes a traumatic situation traumatic?
Emotional and psychological trauma affects about 26% of the child US population. About 60% of adults report experiencing trauma in some form as a child. When speaking with families who have experienced trauma, I often explain it to be an event or circumstance that negatively affects an individual who does not have the appropriate coping skills/tools to overcome the trauma.
Trauma can result from any circumstance that outweighs your ability to cope. Simply put, the event is terrifying, unnerving, and unexpected. For many of us, unexpected events can bring a host of anxious thoughts and feelings including depressed mood.
In this video, I discuss situations most people, including myself at the start of my career, fail to recognize as traumatic.
I welcome your comments and questions!
