What does trauma mean to you? 🌿
As part of our “What We Mean When We Say:” series, we’re exploring some of the mental health language we hear often and what these words can actually mean in everyday life. Trauma is not simply an event. It can describe the lasting impact an overwhelming or distressing experience has on how we feel, think, connect, and move through the world. 🧠
And trauma doesn’t look the same for everyone. Sometimes it’s loud and obvious. Sometimes it shows up quietly in the ways we protect ourselves, relate to others, or respond to situations that feel unsafe.
Understanding these responses can be an important part of moving toward healing, with curiosity rather than judgment. 🤍✨
If something resonates with you, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. 🌱
