Most people associate trauma with dramatic, life-altering events. But modern developmental neuroscience has made one truth undeniable:

Millions of people are diagnosed with depression, anxiety, or chronic insomnia each year. Yet very few are given an accurate explanation of why their symptoms persist or why conventional treatment often fails.

For decades, depression has been framed as a biochemical imbalance treated primarily through pharmacology. Millions of people have cycled through antidepressants, mood stabilisers, and brief therapy interventions without experiencing meaningful or lasting change. The conventional model treats depressive symptoms as the illness itself. Yet for a significant portion of individuals, depression is not a standalone disease: it is a downstream consequence of unresolved trauma, emotional neglect, chronic relational stress, or cumulative adverse life experiences that have never been recognised by clinicians.

IntroductionFor many people, the invisible walls of social anxiety and the heavy cloak of depression define daily life—screens of self-doubt, withdrawal, numbed affect, isolation, a body that carries tension rather than ease. The mind may revert endlessly to what-ifs (“What will people think of me?”), or collapse into “What’s the point?” When such conditions persist, they shape not only mood but identity: I am the shy one, I am the depressed one, I am the one who can’t connect.

In the world of military service, frontline emergency response, and humanitarian aid, there exist experiences whose imprint extends long beyond the moment of action. A soldier in combat, a paramedic entering a crisis scene, a police officer responding to a violent call: each carries not only visible memory and physical wear, but also a less-visible layer of emotional, relational and somatic residue. These can include shock, moral injury, relational rupture, hyper-vigilance, loss of agency, alienation from self or others.

The end of an intimate relationship—whether through separation, divorce, or the unraveling of a once-trusted bond—is rarely just “over”. For many, it is another kind of trauma: the trauma of loss, of what was promised, of identity unmoored, of the body and the heart still remembering, of the question repeatedly echoing: “What now?” and “Who am I now?”

When a relationship ends, the life of a father may feel like it has shifted beneath his feet. What once was daily connection, shared routines, laughter with children, may now feel distant—appointments missed, time lost, presence reduced to snippets. Many fathers in separation live with a quiet ache: the children they love but cannot see as often; the sense that their role is diminished; the daily normalcy replaced by calls, custody schedules, longing. Add to this the hidden scars of verbal abuse, emotional trauma, the sense of having failed or been failed, and the journey of fatherhood becomes unexpectedly fraught.

In the tapestry of human experiences, trauma weaves threads that often remain unseen, yet profoundly affect the fabric of individuals' lives. Within Chinese culture, where societal harmony and personal resilience are highly valued, acknowledging and addressing psychological trauma can be particularly challenging.

Healing Through Psychedelic Therapy: Overcoming Trauma and Loss

Severe traffic accidents can be life-altering events, leaving survivors with not only physical injuries but also deep psychological wounds. While physical scars may heal over time, the emotional trauma often lingers, manifesting as anxiety, depression, and complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD). The psychological impact of a traffic accident can be particularly profound when survivors face lasting disabilities or experience overwhelming guilt, whether due to the accident itself or feelings of blame and responsibility.

Divorce is not just a legal event—it’s an emotional earthquake that can shake the very core of a person’s identity, security, and sense of self. For many, the impact of divorce goes beyond the loss of a partner; it’s a profound disruption that can trigger deep-seated emotional wounds, especially when children are involved. The complexity of divorce-related trauma is heightened by contentious custody battles, feelings of betrayal, and the heartache of losing daily contact with one’s children, all of which can contribute to the development of complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD).

Divorce is often ranked among the most stressful and life-altering experiences a person can go through. For many, it is not just the end of a marriage but also a profound emotional and psychological upheaval that can leave deep scars. When a divorce is particularly contentious or involves the loss of custody of children, the trauma can be overwhelming, leading to symptoms that resemble complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD). Feelings of grief, betrayal, loss of identity, and disempowerment can linger long after the legal proceedings are over, making it difficult for individuals to move forward with their lives.
