Definition of Trauma Trauma is a wound that injures us emotionally, psychologically and physiologically. Trauma occurs when a person experiences a threat, including sexual violence, to physical and/or psychological survival of oneself or a close family member or friend. We each have innate capabilities to respond to such situations and return to a state of equilibrium. However if the intensity of the situation overwhelms our resilience, often with intense helplessness, shame or terror, and we are not able to re-establish a sense of relative safety, our built-in survival mechanisms remain on high alert continually responding to threats. Thus, we become traumatized. Trauma deforms the personality. Prolonged stress and trauma increase adrenaline and cortisol levels. This affects the immune function, the hormonal systems, and brain function. Two doctors surveyed near 20.000 patients for various forms of childhood trauma and were astonished by the results. Childhood emotional trauma and stress have a strong correlation with a greater risk of serious physical illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, and chronic lung disease as well as an increased risk for addictions, high-risk behavior, and mental illness. If you have 6 or more adverse childhood experiences it can shorten your life by as much as 20 years! Your brain also can make new neurological pathways once you start your healing process by working with a qualified therapist.
