Understanding Trauma

 TRAUMA

Trauma is an emotional response to a shocking event like robbery, rape, sudden sad news, attack, prolonged abuse, etc. 

Have you ever found yourself questioning your reaction after a traumatic event? It's normal for a person to start telling themselves; I would have done this, maybe things would have turn out differently. Please, there's no need of beating yourself up for how you react during a traumatic event. 

THE BRAIN during a traumatic event is disorganized and moves from Logical reasoning to trauma response. The body goes to survival mode and one cannot think straight. 

No one is immune to trauma. 

The only way to heal is to go through the gradual healing process. Preferably with professional social support
