Your Trauma Counts No Matter What Anyone Else Has Been Through

By: Kait McDermott, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Rittenhouse Women's Wellness Center

Trauma isn’t something that needs to be compared or measured against someone else’s experience.

Patients I have worked with frequently say things like, “I’m not sure if this counts as trauma,” usually followed by a detailed story and then, “I know it could have been worse.” Like many mental health conditions, trauma is stigmatized within our society.

Trauma can come from a single event or build up over time through repeated experiences. It might be something you went through yourself, witnessed, or even learned about happening to someone else. Its effects can show up in many ways: physical health, emotional regulation, thinking patterns, and sleep. Over time, trauma can lead to negative self-talk, guilt, or self-blame. Many people also find themselves pulling away from others or feeling disconnected.

Honor Yourself This Month

A quick note from our Gynecologist, Dr. Faust-Rakos

Women's Health Month is a celebration. It is also a call to action.

The most powerful thing you can do for yourself right now is stay ahead of your health. That means scheduling your mammogram. That means not putting off your Pap smear. These screenings exist for a reason and the data is clear. Early detection saves lives.

This month I am asking every patient in our community to get current. No more rescheduling. No more putting it off.

You take care of everyone around you. Let us help you take care of you.
