At Into the Light, we recognize that healing from trauma is a journey that requires support and understanding. Our experienced team is here to provide effective trauma therapy to help men heal the wounds of the past and regain a sense of safety.
Understanding trauma in men is a critical aspect of providing effective support and care for individuals who have experienced traumatic events. Trauma can affect anyone, regardless of their gender, and it’s important to recognize that men may have unique responses and challenges when dealing with trauma.
Trauma refers to an emotional, psychological, or physical response to an event or series of events that are distressing, frightening, or harmful. These events overwhelm an individual’s ability to cope, leaving lasting effects on their mental, emotional, and often physical well-being. Trauma can be experienced directly or indirectly, and its impact can vary based on the individual’s resilience, support systems, and coping mechanisms.
Results from an injury or harm to the body, such as accidents, falls, or physical assaults.
Arises from distressing events or experiences that affect an individual emotionally, such as abuse, loss of a loved one, or witnessing violence.
Involves non-consensual sexual acts, sexual assault, rape, or any unwanted sexual experience.
Occurs during a person’s formative years and affects their emotional and psychological development, often caused by neglect, abuse, or instability in the family environment.
Involves exposure to multiple and prolonged traumatic experiences, often occurring within relationships, such as in cases of ongoing abuse or domestic violence.
Immediate reactions characterized by disbelief, numbing, or an inability to accept what has happened.
Feelings of intense anger, frustration, and irritability, sometimes directed at oneself or others.
