Navigating Trauma ️
Understanding what trauma is, gentle ways to feel grounded and safe, and how professional support can help you heal — at your own pace.
💛 Please read first. This page is educational, to help you understand trauma and recovery. It is not therapy and not a substitute for professional support. Trauma-processing work (like reliving or "hot-spot" work) should only be done with a trained therapist, never alone. If reading this ever feels too much, pause and go to the Grounding tab. You deserve support — you don't have to do this alone.
Support any time: your GP · NHS 111 · Samaritans 116 123 · text SHOUT to 85258 · in an emergency, 999. For trauma therapy, ask your GP about an NHS referral or find an accredited therapist (e.g. via the BABCP or BACP registers).
