Trauma is anything that overwhelms our ability to cope. We can consider overwhelm on a continuum from 'overwhelming stress' to 'PTSD' to 'developmental trauma'.[1]
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms include involuntarily re-experiencing aspects of the traumatic event in a very vivid and distressing way, avoidance behaviour, hyperarousal, and, emotional numbing. [2]
‘Trauma occurs when an event creates an unresolved impact on an organism.’[3]
'Dissociation is the essence of trauma.'[4]
