raditionally, a traumatic event has been defined as something singular, with the person going through it experiencing a loss of control or fear for their lives or the life of loved ones. Now, researchers are coming to understand that trauma reactions can come out of everyday occurrences during which people experience that loss of control or danger, such as abusive situations. This is referred to as complex trauma. Trauma comes in many forms - from childhood bedwetting to emotional abuse to war. The adage, "If you were born, you have trauma," is not an exaggeration. You may be familiar with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder such as experiencing flashbacks to the traumatic event or nightmares. However, you do not have to have these symptoms to be someone who has been deeply negatively impacted by traumatic experiences. Unresolved trauma is insidious, affecting how we cope with future stressors, much of the time without us realizing how we are trying to cope. Oftentimes, trauma impacts the way that we come to think, feel, and believe about ourselves and the world.
