Trauma isn’t always easy to spot. While some responses are clear, others can be subtle, showing up in everyday actions, thoughts, or feelings.

Taking care of yourself after experiencing trauma can feel overwhelming, but adopting trauma-informed self-care practices can make a world of difference. These practices are designed to honour your experiences and promote healing in a way that feels safe and supportive.

Trauma triggers can feel overwhelming, catching you off guard and leaving you emotionally drained. Triggers are reminders, whether through sights, sounds, smells, or even emotions of past traumatic experiences.

Trauma doesn’t just impact your emotions, it affects your body, too. Whether from a single traumatic event or ongoing stress, trauma can leave physical marks that make it harder to heal.

Whether the trauma stems from a painful childhood, a single traumatic event, or ongoing stress, it can create feelings of shame, inadequacy, or self-doubt that are hard to shake. These effects don’t just go away on their own, healing takes time, effort, and sometimes professional support.
