Experiencing trauma or abuse can deeply impact an individual’s emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Survivors often struggle with anxiety, depression, trust issues, and post-traumatic stress. At Emotional Enlightenment Foundation, we offer specialized therapy and support services to help survivors heal, rebuild their confidence, and regain control over their lives.

Understanding Trauma and Abuse

Trauma can result from various distressing experiences, including:

• Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse
• Domestic violence or toxic relationships
• Childhood neglect or abandonment
• Loss of a loved one or witnessing violence
• Accidents, natural disasters, or war-related trauma
• Bullying, harassment, or workplace abuse

These experiences can lead to deep emotional wounds, affecting self-esteem, relationships, and daily functioning. Without proper intervention, trauma can cause long-term psychological distress and behavioral challenges.
