Carrying A Heavy Weight Of Trauma Can Be Overwhelming
Trauma encompasses the emotional, psychological, and physiological aftermath resulting from experiences of threat, violence, and life-challenging events. It can overwhelm an individual’s capacity to cope.
Trauma can manifest in different forms:
Simple trauma – involves single, life-threatening incidents like accidents or natural disasters, often eliciting supportive community responses.
Complex trauma – entails repeated interpersonal violence and violation over extended periods, which can be accompanied by stigma and shame.
Developmental trauma – occurring during childhood, can impact brain development and relational stability, particularly when experienced within familial contexts.
Depending on who or what you read, trauma will be defined in a variety of ways.
Not everyone who experiences a traumatic event develops Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
