Get Trauma Therapy in Kansas City – Liberty MO Area

Trauma fits into two different categories: big trauma and little trauma.

Bigger traumas include life-changing events like car accidents or being involved in war. Little trauma refers to smaller things that still impact your life and change your perspective, like repeated bullying or living in an atmosphere of abuse. Different types of traumas have different impacts on a person, but every type of trauma does create an impact of some sort. Talking with a therapist about the things you’ve witnessed and undergone can help you work through your trauma and create momentum toward a positive and lighter life.

Trauma symptoms include:

• Increased anxiety or depression
• Stress disorders
• Loss of motivation
• Headaches
• Nausea
• Difficulty concentrating
• Trauma flashbacks

Talking with a therapist helps you get to the bottom of what is causing undesirable symptoms and patterns in your life. Through sessions with a therapist, you can gain closure from recognized traumas and discover unrecognized traumas that need to be addressed. Through therapy, you can also learn to reclaim control of your life, stop patterns of self-isolation and learn how to invest in self-care again.
