Experiencing trauma is a common part of many individuals' lives. While the majority of people gradually recover from traumatic events without the need for professional intervention, a significant proportion develop longer-lasting psychological difficulties. When the effects of trauma persist and cause substantial distress or impairment, clients may meet criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Epidemiological data suggest that approximately 3-5% of the population will experience PTSD in any given year. Encouragingly, a range of evidence-based psychological therapies are available for PTSD, offering effective pathways to recovery for many individuals.
