Understanding Trauma and Its Impact
Trauma is not only what happened to you, but also how your mind and body continue to respond after the experience has passed. It can result from experiences such as abuse, neglect, loss, accidents, or exposure to violence. When left unprocessed, these experiences can alter the way the brain and nervous system function, creating patterns of fear, disconnection, and emotional pain.
At Sabino Recovery in Tucson, we recognize that trauma affects the whole person. It can shape how you see yourself, how you connect with others, and how you experience safety in the world. The body often remembers what the mind tries to forget, leading to physical symptoms such as chronic pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbances.
Understanding trauma is the first step toward recovery. By addressing it with care and compassion, you can begin to rebuild the sense of safety and stability that trauma once disrupted.
Types of Trauma We Treat
Caused by a single distressing event that overwhelms your ability to cope. It may lead to flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety that persist long after the event has passed.
Develops through repeated exposure to distress or unsafe environments over time. Often linked to childhood adversity or long-term abuse, complex trauma can affect trust, self-worth, and emotional regulation.

Pamela
The program at Sabino Recovery works! I emerged from an accumulation of unrecognized emotions, issues of trust, and unresolved grief and loss. 35-days of effective integration of customized quality therapy reconnected my mind, body, spirit, and I am worth it! I had masked emotions and hurtful events for decades with alcohol. At Sabino Recovery I safely focused deep within to unleash harmful secrets and self-degradation. Tools of recovery were practiced, not just presented. Integrative therapies were tailored to my circumstances, thus were effective. This residential program is like no other. For me, Sabino Recovery delivered what was professed. I am forever grateful for this gift of healing.
