WHAT IS TRAUMA?
WHAT IS TRAUMA?
Trauma is a person’s emotional response to a distressing experience. Few people can go through life without encountering some kind of trauma. Unlike ordinary hardships, traumatic events tend to be sudden and unpredictable, involve a serious threat to life—like bodily injury or death—and feel beyond a person’s control. Most important, events are traumatic to the degree that they undermine a person's sense of safety in the world and create a sense that catastrophe could strike at any time. Parental loss in childhood, auto accidents, physical violence, sexual assault, military combat experiences, the unexpected loss of a loved one are commonly traumatic events.

Disturbing events activate the amygdala, a structure in the brain responsible for detecting threats. It responds by sending out an alarm to multiple body systems to prepare for defense.

All this has been the object of my dedication to finding strategies that became solutions during those twelve years.

These are the subjects of our Trauma Talk Series.

We can have a meaningful life, we can be the hero of our own story. We can learn to steer through those sometimes-turbulent waters and face our own trials and challenges amid the stress of our daily lives.
And yes, for many of us, we have experienced and had to deal with real trauma, those stressors that have left their marks on our souls that we often struggle to acknowledge, and feel uncertain as to how to find ways to integrate these experiences in order to make them a meaningful part of our story.
Our blog conversations will help you to make meaning out of your traumatic experiences.
