Trauma & PTSD

Trauma isn’t about how “bad” an event was on paper — it’s about what overwhelmed your capacity to cope and left a mark on your nervous system. That’s why two people can live through the same thing and carry it very differently, and why old experiences can keep hijacking the present through triggers, hypervigilance, and flashbacks.

The articles here explain PTSD and complex PTSD, the real meaning of trauma triggers, how childhood trauma shows up in adulthood, and the evidence-based paths to healing. Written by Jeff Marcino, Psy.D, LPC, a trauma-focused therapist in Mount Pleasant, SC.
