What is Trauma?

Psychological trauma occurs when an event or series of events overwhelms your central nervous system, altering the way you process stress and emotion. Trauma can stem from a single profound incident, or from prolonged experiences like chronic emotional abuse or childhood neglect.

Unprocessed trauma can quietly dictate your reactions, your relationships, and your physical health. Therapy isn’t about erasing the past; it is about taking the emotional charge out of the memories so they no longer control your present.

Common Signs of Unprocessed Trauma

The effects of trauma can be incredibly physical and deeply ingrained in your daily behaviors. You may be dealing with unresolved trauma if you experience:

  • A constant feeling of being “on edge” or unable to relax
  • Avoidance of people, places, or situations that feel overwhelming
  • Chronic physical symptoms like headaches or digestive issues
  • Difficulty trusting others or maintaining close relationships
  • A strong, harsh inner critic or feelings of deep shame
  • Turning to substance use or unhealthy habits to numb emotions

I was hopeless and out of options.  My medications were no longer working and my depression was worsening and leading to suicidal thoughts to say the least.  After the 1st 6 treatments of Ketamine, I was clearly on the road to recovery.  I felt alive again and full of hope.  I could never be so thankful to have this as a treatment option.  Thank you so much to the wonderful staff at Kansas Mental Health Medicine.
