For some, simple traumas (wounds) can clear on their own, but for others with more complex emotional variables, the healing process make take longer. If an individual doesn’t obtain the proper conditions to heal, it will probably take longer for the trauma to resolve. In the meantime, other symptoms can manifest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffa44a15a6fae169d92dd1f/1618803666121-0VNT4Y9NSL746WEQGZZ3/IMG-0403.JPG Trauma - When drawing the parallels between physical and emotional trauma, understanding the concept of re-wounding is imperative. It is bad enough when a person experiences a traumatic event and is not given the optimal conditions in which to heal but what if other people keep prodding the wound with insensitive comments and potentially re-traumatizing actions. The wound will not get better. In all likelihood, it will get worse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffa44a15a6fae169d92dd1f/1618804087447-TDMQMZ958LP1A6SU0NFN/IMG-0402.JPG Trauma - My intention in explaining the parallels between physical and emotional wounds is because it is the simplest way to understand trauma and how it affects different people in different ways. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffa44a15a6fae169d92dd1f/1618804140102-W5LSW21C7UDF47S0E23H/IMG-0390.JPG Trauma - Large “T” traumas are those that would be overwhelming to anyone, and for diagnostic purposes, they involve the life-threatening or perceived life-threatening component, resulting in a response of helplessness or horror that is needed to warrant a formal, DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual) diagnosis of PTSD. (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder). In addition to life-threatening events, those that involve major injury (or the perceived threat of major injury) can also be covered by this formal diagnosis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffa44a15a6fae169d92dd1f/1618857615177-D4HWKWBGO62H4LELN6YQ/IMG-0407.JPG Trauma - Small “t” traumas are the upsetting experiences that life sends our way that we are not able to integrate into our system of understanding. If a small “t” traumas remain unprocessed (like the small wounds that don’t receive the treatment that they need), they can end up being just as significant as Large “T” traumas, especially if there are complicating variables, or if small “t” traumas continue to build one on top of another. https://www.lifewellnesspsychotherapy.org/about daily 0.75 2026-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffa44a15a6fae169d92dd1f/bf9debd1-263b-496e-8eff-ca4eeff9f380/IMG_0935.jpeg https://www.lifewellnesspsychotherapy.org/appointments-5 daily 0.75 2026-03-19 https://www.lifewellnesspsychotherapy.org/store-1 daily 0.75 2021-04-27
