The Idea of the Week
Trauma is an emotional response to a single or series of distressing event(s), which are perceived as threatening. Witnessing a threat to a loved one or fearing a loved one’s life and physical and psychological security can also be a traumatic experience.
However, if a person experiences a distressing event, it does not necessarily mean they are experiencing trauma.
In today’s blog post (an 8-minute read) we break down the different types of trauma stress and how they affect the brain.
