How do addiction or substance abuse connect to PTSD? Well, many people who deal with something traumatic feel full of anxiety, stress and depression.

Having these types of feelings all the time can be exhausting. People just want to hide from them or make these feelings go away. To do this, a person might start abusing drugs or alcohol. Once they realize these substances push down their feelings, they may keep abusing alcohol or drugs. That may be where your addiction began.

What is Classified as Trauma?

There is no limit to the types of events that can cause traumatizing effects on individuals, as people view and experience everything differently from one another. However, to obtain a better understanding of what events usually cause trauma, consider the following:

  • Rape – According to RAINN, 1 in every 6 women in the United States has been a victim of attempted or completed rape. Women (and men) who experience rape and other forms of sexual abuse are traumatized in ways where they lack the ability to trust, feel confident, or express emotions.
  • Domestic violence – Victims of domestic violence and those who witness it are at increasingly alarming risk for experiencing trauma.
  • Natural disasters – Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and flooding can pull the rug out from beneath an individual both literally and figuratively, leaving him or her feeling unstable, unsafe, and traumatized.

Other common types of traumatic events include violent assault, combat, loss of a loved one, serious or long illness, neglect, abandonment, and emotional abuse.

How is Trauma Treated?

When an individual has experienced trauma and finds it difficult, if not impossible, to overcome the emotional upset he or she is experiencing, he or she likely needs to be treated so that recovery can be possible.

Experiencing a traumatic event can be life-altering in ways that cause an individual to no longer feel like themselves. However, there are several types of trauma treatment that can promote healthy recovery for these individuals.

Traumatic events can be extremely painful to go through. In fact, many people have experienced more than one traumatic event in their lives, adding several layers to their recovery. However, regardless of what has traumatized you, there are options for you so that you can put your trauma in the past and move forward as a recovered, healthy individual.
