Understanding Trauma

Trauma is the lasting emotional, physical and psychological response that can be inherited (epi-genetical trauma) or experienced whenever a person survives a disturbing or distressing event. No two people experience one event the same way. Each person is unique and his or her view of the event will determine if there is a trauma response or not. That’s why children in a family will go through the same event (i.e: violence in the home) but process what has happened differently.

Of course extreme events such as war, violence or abuse can create trauma within us, but something as simple as a sensitive child being ridiculed in front of a classroom, being bullied in the school yard or receiving harsh criticism at home can also create a trauma response within us.

Trauma influences our whole being. It is experienced throughout the body, mind and soul. Science now understands that trauma influences not only mental health, but physical health as well. Chronic illnesses, disease and general unwellness can be linked to unresolved trauma.

Unresolved trauma can look like simple debris on our path - we generally go about our day and function well, stepping over or ignoring the pain we are experiencing. Unfortunately, unresolved trauma rarely goes away on its own and that pile of debris grows. It grows (traumatic responsive behaviour) until we can’t step around it any longer. It becomes harder to ignore and blocks our path, preventing us from reaching our destination. It stops us from achieving success and living a good life.
