Acute trauma refers to a single traumatic event, such as a car accident or natural disaster. Examples of acute trauma include physical or sexual assault, witnessing violence, or experiencing a severe accident. Therapy can help individuals recover from acute trauma by processing the event, learning coping strategies, and developing resilience.
Chronic trauma arises from long-term exposure to repeated traumatic events. Examples of chronic trauma include ongoing abuse, neglect, or living in a war zone. Therapy can provide a safe space for individuals to process their experiences, rebuild a sense of safety, and learn healthy coping methods.
