Research has shown that trauma is closely intertwined with various mental health and behavioral conditions. Traumatic stress is a normal reaction to an abnormal event—not just from a catastrophic event, but from persistent stress or loss.2 Trauma is complicated and can stem from a variety of circumstances, such as childhood abuse or neglect, war/violence, medical interventions, physical/emotional/sexual abuse, accidents/natural disasters, grief and loss, witnessing acts of violence, intergenerational trauma, and more.

Thus far Hermin has been a great help with understanding my needs. She is definitely helping to navigate my way through the different situations that I unconsciously put myself through. I'm learning to identify and be more aware of my feelings and actions. I am truly grateful for her guidance.
