Trauma comes in all shapes and sizes and what is traumatic for one person might not be for the next.
Trauma is something that happens to us that made us feel overwhelmed and involved a threat to our integrity, life or safety. It can also be something that happened to someone else that we heard about or witnessed.
What happens to us during trauma
When we suffer trauma it usually results in strong emotions which overwhelm our brain. This overwhelm stops our brain processing normally so it leaves the memory unprocessed.
Normally an experience would go through the parts of our brain called the amygdala and the hippocampus. These parts of the brain process the experience so it can be filed away as a memory. If this doesn’t happen the experience gets stuck in the nervous system.
This stuck memory can get triggered and it is experienced as if it is happening in the present, with all the emotions and sensations that go with it. This accounts for triggers, flashbacks, intrusive thoughts and nightmares that are a common theme of PTSD.
