Psychotraumatology is a branch of psychology that focuses on understanding the psychological effects of trauma and how individuals can recover from traumatic experiences. It looks at how the mind and body respond to events such as accidents, violence, abuse, war, or loss, and how these experiences can lead to conditions like PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), complex trauma, or other mental health issues.

Psychotraumatology combines knowledge from neuroscience, clinical psychology, and psychotherapy to provide effective, evidence-based support for trauma survivors. Its goal is not only to reduce symptoms but also to restore a sense of safety, control, and well-being.
