Trauma is an event in a person's life, the suddenness, unexpectedness which cannot be avoided, which caused you to feel terrified, isolated, trapped, helpless and out of control, once the event is over it can leave an imprint within our minds and bodies, affecting our everyday life and functioning.

Complex trauma can occur if you experience repeated distressing events in life or from work (Police/Blue Light Services/Military to name a few), these cam be historical, life threatening events such as birth complications, childhood trauma/abuse, profound loss (death, house/country move, etc.), physical, mental, and emotional abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, and rape, again just to name a few.
