We can look at trauma as Big T's and Little t's. Big T's could be seen as catastrophic events, sexual + domestic violence, or life threatening experiences. Little t's may look like harassment, loss, death of a loved one, emotional abuse, etc. Little or Big, Trauma impacts our body and nervous system. Untreated trauma is pervasive and many time is at the root of so many of our presenting mental health concerns, even if we try really hard to shut it out of our memory.
What ever has happened to you is not your fault, and you are not alone.
