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.
