What is Complex Trauma?
Complex trauma typically arises from prolonged or repeated exposure to traumatic events—often in early life or within close relationships. It can result from experiences such as childhood abuse or neglect, domestic violence, or long-term emotional harm. Unlike single-incident trauma, complex trauma often affects a person’s sense of safety, trust, self-worth, and ability to form healthy relationships.
Common Signs of Complex Trauma
Persistent Feelings of Shame or Guilt
Diffculty Regulating Emotions

Chronic

Trauma is not just an event that took place sometime in the past; it is also the imprint left by that experience
on mind, brain, and body.
