ADULT SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL TRAUMA

Women and men of all ages, who have experienced trauma, can be triggered at any time in their lives. To be triggered means feeling strong emotions (anger, fear, anxiety) due to a traumatic event that happened sometime during a lifetime. The trigger could be a sound, smell, word, color, age, event, the list is endless. Sometimes you may hear something in the news that may trigger you and it takes you back to the traumatic event. It may even feel as if you have traveled into your past to the time of the trauma. Know that you are not crazy. Triggers are a real thing. Sometimes, you may feel anxious or angry and not know why. I have found identifying triggers helps take the power away from the strong emotions you may be feeling. Schedule your free 15 minute phone consult and let's chat.
