What is Trauma? Understanding How it Affects Women's Mental Health.
Trauma is an emotional response to a deeply distressing or disturbing experience, but its impact varies widely from person to person. Trauma is not just defined by the event itself, but by how an individual perceives and copes with it. What may be traumatic for one person might not be for another, depending on factors such as personal resilience, support systems, and past experiences.
