UNDERSTANDING TRAUMA

Before healing can begin, understanding is necessary.

Many people are carrying emotional wounds they do not even recognise as trauma because they only associate trauma with extreme abuse or tragedy.

But trauma is deeper and more complex than many realise.

In this series, we will explore:

• What trauma truly is

• The difference between trauma and stress

• Big “T” trauma and little “t” trauma

• Trauma as a nervous system response

• Why people respond differently to painful experiences

Because not all wounds bleed visibly. Some wounds show up in relationships. Some show up in fear.

Some show up in anxiety, anger, emotional shutdown, people pleasing, perfectionism, or the inability to feel safe with love.

Healing begins with awareness.

And sometimes understanding your patterns is the first step toward freedom.

Stay with this conversation.

It may help you understand yourself and others more compassionately.
