The Psychological Support Sector of Baku State University (BSU) conducted a training session for students titled "5 Traumas That Prevent Us from Being Ourselves."

The center's psychologist, Natavan Hasanbayeva, explained that trauma is a reaction to an event or experience that severely impacts a person's physical or psychological health, often accompanied by feelings of danger, fear, horror, or intense anxiety. She noted that trauma can arise not only from a single event but also from repeated experiences or prolonged stress. Traumas that influence a person's identity and behavior typically stem from negative experiences in childhood or early years, and these experiences can affect their health, relationships, and self-esteem in adulthood.

The psychologist also provided information about the types of trauma and methods for preventing them.

During the training, students explored the impact of trauma on behavior, relationships, and health, and participated in psychological tests.
