Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start.

When an event  is terrifying,  overwhelming and creates an intense fear for our safety or the safety of others, it may be perceived as traumatic. Trauma can impact our lives in ways we don't want. We may experience anxiety, or feel like we are constantly on edge, never feeling safe. We may have a short fuse and anger easily. We may experience flashbacks. Other symptoms of trauma lead to a sense of depression and feeling shut down, not interested in doing any of the things we used to like to do. Trauma can also impact digestion, can lead to physical pain, and many more symptoms. 

Some of the types of trauma that we treat at Tapped In Psychotherapy are Childhood abuse (physical, sexual and emotional),  Sexual abuse, Domestic Violence, Intimate Partner Violence, Racial Trauma, Attachment trauma,  Human trafficking and  Traumatic Grief and Loss.
