Trauma is a response or a reaction to something distressing in your life, or an event that may overwhelm your ability to cope in a healthy manner. This inability to cope in a healthy manner can cause feelings of unworthiness, depression, and helplessness. Often survivors of trauma stop feeling the full range of emotions. Trauma does not discriminate. Emotional responses related to these issues, both as they are occurring and even many years later, can cause people to stumble and not be able to achieve their business goals, financial goals, or even cause them to forget how to dream.
