Trauma is complex and often misunderstood, yet it affects millions of people worldwide. It can stem from accidents, abuse, loss, or other overwhelming experiences, as well as broader social factors like poverty, discrimination, or community violence. When trauma goes unrecognized, even well-intentioned care can unintentionally cause harm. In mental health care, therapy, and healthcare settings, understanding trauma is essential for providing care that truly supports healing.
