What trauma can look like

Trauma isn't only what happened — it's what your mind and body are still carrying. Flashbacks, nightmares, feeling constantly on guard, numbness, or reactions that feel bigger than the moment are all common. Whether the experience was a single event or years of accumulated stress, these responses are your nervous system trying to protect you.
