Many of us have experienced events in our lives that leave us bearing the aftermath of trauma. Unfortunately, there are many life events or situations that can lead to simple or complex trauma, including:

• Injuries from accidents
• Witnessing disturbing events
• Natural disasters
• Emotional abuse
• Childhood neglect
• Sexual assault
• Physical abuse
• Losing a loved one
• Discrimination
• Bullying
• Crime

Afterward, we may experience the onset of depression and anxiety. It may be difficult to re-establish a feeling of safety, and we may no longer trust other people or even ourselves and our instincts.

We may also experience triggers that cause a physical and psychological stress response. Triggers can include a specific person or people, locations, thoughts, memories, and senses, like smell and taste.

When trauma is left untreated, it can lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms, like drug or alcohol dependencies, unhealthy relationships, and feelings of being disconnected or numb to other people and our surrounding environment.

Humans require meaningful social connections. Unfortunately, social interactions may sometimes cause anxiety and fear, often because of fear of being judged or criticized by others or being at the center of attention (i.e., awarded an award or being recognized during birthday celebrations). By finding ways to improve these issues, life can become much easier while creating deeper and more fulfilling social bonds.

Meanwhile, depression can feel like you are stuck in a hole with no way out. While some believe that chemical imbalances in the brain cause depression, it is often more complicated and multifaceted. Social, emotional, and developmental factors in our environment can all contribute to depression, from past experiences to present life situations to anxiety about the future. In short, depression is not just due to your biological make up – it is a condition that develops through our human experiences.

Depression and anxiety often co-occur, creating feelings of doubt and excess thinking. If you are experiencing these symptoms of anxiety or depression, you should seek assistance immediately. You might feel stuck within yourself, but remember there are resources out there to help make life better – we offer CBT and DBT therapy techniques, which can assist in relieving symptoms faster.

Addictive substances are everywhere – making it difficult to stop or reduce use. Drugs and alcohol may be the first things that come to your mind, but other pleasurable activities can be highly addictive. Things like gaming, eating, and watching pornography are also addictive activities. Do you feel like your behavior is out of control? The earlier you recognize that you have addiction issues and seek treatment, the easier it can be to make lifestyle and behavioral adjustments.

Seek help at any point. It’s never too late to get treatment for an addiction. Co-occurring disorders are common with addiction, and they are also treatable. Whether the addiction is short-term or long-term, don’t take this challenge alone should never be attempted.

If you feel you cannot control your substance use or if you are dealing with other problematic, addictive behaviors, we are here to help. You don’t need to hit bottom before you seek help when struggling with addiction.
