Potential causes Trauma and PTSD:

  1. Life Events: Experiencing or witnessing traumatic events, such as abuse, violence, loss, or natural disasters, can leave a lasting impact on your sense of safety and well-being.

  2. Environmental Stressors: Chronic exposure to stressful situations, such as unsafe living conditions, workplace harassment, or financial instability, can compound feelings of fear and anxiety.

  3. Family Background: Growing up in environments marked by neglect, emotional unavailability, or abuse can shape how we perceive safety, trust, and relationships.

  4. Personal Vulnerabilities: Individual factors like sensitivity to stress, difficulty regulating emotions, or preexisting anxiety can increase the likelihood of trauma responses after distressing events.

  5. Social and Cultural Influences: Facing discrimination, systemic oppression, or cultural stigma can contribute to feelings of isolation, hypervigilance, and trauma.

  6. Substance Use: Misuse of alcohol or drugs can arise as a coping mechanism for trauma but often exacerbates emotional distress and impedes recovery.
