What is abuse-related trauma?


Abuse-related trauma can develop after a person has been physically/emotionally/sexually hurt and/or neglected, in childhood or as an adult.



A woman may have been:

As a result, the woman may have overwhelming feelings of distress, fear and helplessness.

Common effects of trauma caused by abuse include:

- Nightmares

- panic attacks & anxiety
-depression
- feeling like you don't want to live or you can't go on with your life
- alcohol & /or other drug use
-flashbacks (sudden , vivid & unpleasant memories of the event)
-difficult relationships
- feelings of self hate & low self-esteem
- fearing people & relationships
- self-harm
-memory gaps
