What is Trauma?
There are certain issues that are easy for people to identify as "trauma." These might include: war, physical abuse, sexual abuse rape, car accidents, or witnessing a death. Unfortunately, here are many more subtle and less obvious ways that our brains and bodies can become traumatized and cause us to change our view of ourselves, others, and the world around us. Some of these might include, but are not limited to:
bullying as a child, prolonged rejection at home or by peers, unhealthy childhood family dynamics, sports injuries, loss of home or financial security, infidelity, humiliation, parental rage or substance abuse, emotional abuse, infidelity, and so much more.
