Life can be filled with unexpected twists and turns; often times leaving us unprepared to deal with sudden changes which can cause stress and be traumatic:

 

Traumatic stress causes an individual to feel threatened emotionally, psychologically, or physically and can involve an event that causes harm. Trauma looks different for different people, which can cause people to react differently.

 

Traumatic events can include – Surviving an extreme weather event or destruction/  Disaster or crisis/ Domestic violence/  Emotional abuse/ Rape/ Bullying/ Motor vehicle accident/  Witnessing violence/  Experiencing war/  Life Changes - Birth/death of a child/ Adoption/ Child(ren) removed from home/ Becoming a caregiver/ Death of a loved spouse/ family member/ Death of a family pet/ Loss of a job/ Career changes/ Relocation/ Military deployment/Empty Nest(Kids leaving for college) Relational - Divorce/ Bad-break up/ Health Issues.
