What is trauma? What is neglect? Do these impact me?

People often come to therapy feeling lost or having tried lots of things without success. They seek reassurance that their feelings, thoughts, and experiences are “normal.”

Trauma is defined as a normal response to adverse events, affecting our physiology, mental state, and emotions. It rewires our neurons, manifesting as anxiety, panic attacks, depression, perfectionism, and relationship difficulties, etc. shaping our worldview, self-esteem, and relationships.

The American Psychological Association defines “neglect” as failing to provide for someone’s basic needs. Emotional neglect can lead to feelings of rejection and apathy, resulting in guilt, shame, and difficulty validating one’s emotions.
