The effects of trauma are not always seen immediately. â€‹

​

Remembering & thinking about a scary event occasionally is normal. However, being startled or frequently avoiding people/things/places that remind you of the event are not.

​

​Trauma and traumatic stress can impact physical well-being.

​

The impact of trauma can't always be explained through words.

​

Trauma is very personal and subjective.  It's up to the impacted individual to decide if they have been through a traumatic experience or not.
