TRAUMA TREATMENT CENTER PALM SPRINGS, CA
Like other mental health concerns, trauma is a term that most of us have heard that is not fully understood. What we know about trauma is what we have observed from those around us, and how it is portrayed in the media. In reality, the number of individuals who experience trauma in their lifetime is staggering.
When someone experiences a traumatic event, there are many ways that they may be impacted. Many individuals will have a strong reaction after the traumatic event occurs, and many find that these initial reactions tend to fade over the coming weeks. However, for some, the effects of trauma linger.
Individuals who have experienced traumatic events in the past have limited support, and have current stressors in life, and those with poor coping skills are at a higher risk of having their initial reactions to their trauma last longer.
The reactions that can occur after a traumatic event can impact a person’s way of thinking, behavior, and physical health. Common symptoms include:

According to the American Psychiatric Association, trauma can occur when someone experiences a life-threatening event, serious injury, or a form of sexual violence. What many don’t realize is that these events can be witnessed or have happened to a close loved one, such as a family member or close friend. Additionally, complex trauma refers to individuals who have repeated exposure to the details of other traumatic events. This would include first responders and police officers.
When someone finds themselves struggling after a traumatic event, they will likely notice the impact that it is having on their day-to-day life. For example, they may be struggling with poor concentration, which impacts their ability to complete their work duties on time. Someone may be struggling with depressive symptoms that contribute to them withdrawing from social events, which have then contributed to feeling distant from their friends or loved ones.
Someone who finds themselves struggling with their symptoms for an extended period, and those who notice that their symptoms are having a significant impact on their functioning should speak with a medical or mental health professional about their concerns.

The connection between trauma and addiction can vary for each individual. For some, the use of alcohol and drugs were contributing factors to the traumatic event. For example, individuals who have been drinking or doing drugs are at a higher risk for physical and sexual violence.
For many, drugs and alcohol are a way to cope with the difficult symptoms that resulted from their traumatic event. While drugs and alcohol are not healthy coping skills, they are an effective way to reduce or relieve negative symptoms someone may be experiencing. Research has found that individuals with a history of trauma commonly abuse marijuana, alcohol, cocaine, and opiates. Additionally, research has found that individuals with a history of childhood trauma and abuse commonly abuse cocaine.
When we drink alcohol, alcohol acts as a depressant in our bodies. Individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, irritability, and mood swings may find that drinking helps relieve their symptoms. In comparison, someone struggling with concentration and tiredness may abuse stimulants.
