Psychological trauma refers to the impact on our mental well-being when we encounter a particularly distressing event. This overwhelming experience can leave individuals feeling helpless, and its effects may linger for many years, often resulting in negative consequences. While the traumatic event itself may be in the past, the individual’s reaction to it can persist, leading to ongoing difficulties and potentially laying the groundwork for more serious mental health issues.

Causes of Psychological Trauma

  • Harassment and Bullying: Experiencing discrimination in educational settings or workplaces can lead to long-lasting emotional scars.

  • Adverse Childhood Experiences: Events such as abandonment, rejection, or having parents who struggle with addiction can severely impact a child's psychological development.

  • Abusive Relationships: Being in an emotionally or physically abusive relationship, facing domestic violence, or simply witnessing such behaviours during childhood can cause significant trauma.

Individuals who suffer from psychological trauma often experience feelings of being overwhelmed, helplessness, and entrapment. These emotions can contribute to low self-worth and diminished self-confidence, thereby increasing the risk of developing mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and addiction.

Treatment

Fortunately, it is possible to help individuals process and resolve the memories associated with traumatic events, thereby alleviating the ongoing effects of these painful experiences in the present.

Dr. Pawan Rajpal offers evidence-based, NICE-recommended treatment strategies specifically designed to address the impact of traumatic experiences.
