I don’t know if I have trauma, but I am not happy. Can you help?

Frequently, individuals do not connect with the term "trauma". Instead, consider it as an upsetting experience or a period of pressure. It's worth noting that there are different types of trauma, including "big T" trauma and "little t" trauma. Big T trauma refers to significant events that are usually easily identifiable as traumatic, such as physical assault, natural disasters, or serious accidents. On the other hand, little t trauma refers to experiences that may not seem as significant, but still have a profound impact on a person's mental and emotional well-being, such as ongoing emotional abuse, neglect, or bullying. It's important to recognize that both types of trauma can have lasting effects on a person's life and seek appropriate support when needed. Watch this video for more.
