​

What is Trauma?

Trauma is an emotional and physiological response to a deeply distressing or disturbing experience that overwhelms a person’s ability to cope. It often leaves individuals feeling unsafe, disconnected, or powerless.

Because trauma is subjective, two people can go through the same event and only one may experience it as traumatic. What makes an experience traumatic is not just the event itself, but how it impacts a person’s nervous system, sense of safety, and ability to function.

Trauma may result from:

• Single-event traumas: Car accidents, medical emergencies, natural disasters, or sudden loss

• Chronic or complex traumas: Childhood abuse or neglect, domestic violence, bullying, racism or oppression, growing up in a home affected by addiction or mental illness, or long-term instability

 

How Can Therapy Be Helpful for Trauma?

Trauma therapy views healing as a body-mind process. By creating a safe, supportive space, therapy allows clients to carefully revisit difficult experiences, process unresolved memories, and restore a sense of empowerment and control.

At Ever Forward Therapy, our trauma therapists in New Jersey use evidence-based approaches tailored to each client, including:

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

• Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

• Somatic Experiencing

• Internal Family Systems (IFS)

• Narrative Therapy

These methods help individuals process trauma at their own pace while building coping strategies, resilience, and a renewed sense of safety.
