Women and Trauma: The effect on our lives and how to flourish through it

Let's Coach with Carolyn - Career Strategist, Leadership and Life Coach

According to the American Psychological Association, more than half of the population will experience some type of traumatic event in their lifetime. These events tend to impact men and women differently with women being twice as likely to develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), experience a longer duration of post traumatic symptoms, other health related illnesses and social issues. Although women are at greater risk, they do not seek the help needed often waiting years or never getting help at all. For many that receive treatment through their healthcare provider, the treatment is not sufficient, leaving them stuck. Women end up suffering in silence, feeling as though they have no place to go. What results is a feeling of being trapped that carries over into all areas of their lives, never really feeling free to be themselves.
