The word trauma is used a lot right now —
And fair enough there is a lot of trauma happening in our world these days.
But trauma isn’t defined by how unpleasant something was.
It’s defined by what happened inside the nervous system of someone who experiences a traumatic event.
The traumatic event happens outside of oneself but the trauma is inside.
Trauma occurs when something is too much, too fast, or too overwhelming without enough support — and the body gets stuck in protection long after the event has passed.
When we use the language accurately, we create more understanding, not less.
