Trauma is a distressing event that impacts one’s sense of control, disrupts one’s emotional wellbeing, and exceed one’s capacity to cope. Traumatic events can be life-threatening, such as physical violence, natural disasters, or war. Traumatic events can also be ego-threatening causing one to feel helpless and hopeless such as:

• Betrayal, separation, or divorce

• Conflict with family or friends

• Death of a loved one or pet

• Work stress or loss of job

• Serious illness or injury

If you have endured one trauma or multiple traumas and are aware of its impact on your life, there is good news. You don’t have to suffer in silence. At Colorway Wellness, trauma-focused therapy includes research-based treatments that are effective in reducing trauma symptoms so that you can feel like your best self, live your best life, and believe the best is yet to come!

Coping skills help you deal with stressful situations in life. Problem-based coping is helpful when you need to change your situation, perhaps by removing a stressful thing from your life. Emotion-based coping is helpful when you need to take care of your feelings when you either don’t want to change your situation or when circumstances are out of your control.

Whether problem-based or emotion-based, healthy coping skills help calm stress without avoiding the issue. The right coping skill often depends on the situation and your specific needs in the moment. At Colorway Wellness we’ll work together to develop a “wellness toolbox” of coping skills to help you feel like your best self, live your best life, and believe the best is yet to come!
