Trauma refers to an overwhelming and distressing experience or event that surpasses one’s ability to cope effectively. Trauma can be caused by various incidents, including physical or sexual abuse, accidents, natural disasters, loss of a loved one, or witnessing violence. It can have a profound impact on an individual’s sense of safety, trust, and overall well-being.
