Talking Therapies: Have you experienced cybertrauma?


Some experiences can leave us with traumatic memories.

Often when we think of trauma, we don’t think about what we experience online. But cyberbullying, cyberstalking and seeing graphic video and picture content can leave us feeling confused, upset and even angry.

And in the article for Psychologies Magazine, Catherine sets out five ways to reduce your risk of experiencing cybertrauma.
