Trauma Counselling in Gladesville (Sydney)

What is Trauma?

Trauma is the emotional and psychological response to highly distressing events such as accidents, violence, abuse, disasters, or repeated stress. It may be:

• Single incident trauma (e.g. accident, assault).

• Chronic trauma (e.g. ongoing family violence or abuse).

• Complex trauma (multiple or prolonged exposures).

• Intergenerational trauma, where the impact is carried across generations.

​

Trauma can affect people differently, but common signs include:

• Emotional: anxiety, fear, guilt, sadness, mood swings.

• Cognitive: intrusive thoughts, concentration difficulties, negative beliefs.

• Physical: sleep problems, fatigue, muscle tension, increased heart rate.

• Behavioural: avoidance, withdrawal, or changes in daily functioning.
