What is Trauma?
Trauma is like a shadow—it can follow you through life, shaping how you see yourself and the world around you. Whether it’s a single event, ongoing experiences, or the weight of generational or interfaith trauma, its impact can feel overwhelming. You might find yourself stuck in patterns you don’t understand, feeling disconnected, or struggling to feel safe.
How and Where Does It Show Up?
Trauma can show up in many ways: anxiety, flashbacks, difficulty trusting others, or even physical symptoms like fatigue or pain. For some, it’s a constant sense of unease; for others, it’s feeling numb or detached. Generational or interfaith trauma might manifest as unresolved family conflicts, identity struggles, or a sense of carrying burdens that aren’t yours to bear.
