Are you ever stopped in the middle of an everyday activity by the thought of a traumatic event from your past?  As hard as you try, you just can’t shake the image, or perhaps it even haunts your dreams at night?  Do you experience intense emotional or physical reactions to these thoughts or dreams; like your heart races, you start sweating, and you feel a sense of fear, terror, or helplessness come over you?  You are not alone.  Trauma does not discriminate.  It can affect anyone, and it can come in many forms.
