What is Trauma?
WHAT WE MEAN BY TRAUMA:Trauma is not only a past event. It can change how the brain and body respond in the present.
The amygdala can stay on high alert, the hippocampus can file memories in a fragmented way, and the prefrontal cortex can struggle with focus, planning, and decision making. That is why trauma can touch sleep, mood, relationships, work, and even the ability to feel safe in your own skin.HOW IT CAN SHOW UP:Hypervigilance: always bracing for what might happen next
Intrusions: flashbacks, nightmares, or sudden waves of emotion
Numbing: feeling shut down or disconnected from yourself and others
Shame and self-doubt: old stories that feel hard to shake
