Lesson Overview

13.7 – How Trauma Influences Depression: Trauma can leave invisible scars that affect the brain long after the event ends. When someone goes through abuse, neglect, violence, or loss, their nervous system stays on high alert, always scanning for danger. Over time, this constant stress can turn into depression as the brain becomes exhausted from staying “on” too long. Memories from trauma can create feelings of guilt, shame, or helplessness that feed depressive thoughts. Sleep may become disrupted, trust can fade, and joy feels distant. The body stores trauma, tightening muscles, raising heart rate, and disturbing digestion. Healing trauma often means slowly teaching the body and mind that safety is possible again. This can happen through therapy, grounding exercises, or compassionate relationships that rebuild trust. Understanding trauma’s link to depression helps people see their symptoms not as weakness but as survival responses that need time and care to untangle. Recovery means reclaiming peace piece by piece, reminding the nervous system that it no longer has to fight every day to exist.
