Defining Trauma
Trauma is a deep and complicated mess that can result from acute, chronic, or complex experiences. Acute trauma involves a single traumatic incident, while chronic trauma is the result of multiple and varied traumatic events. Complex trauma, often resulting from child abuse, is interpersonal and occurs over an extended period, shaping a person's identity and impacting their brain and body. The word 'trauma' may not be found in the Bible, but the concept of deep wounds and suffering is present in scriptures. Trauma survivors exhibit incredible courage in sharing their experiences, often carrying shame and self-blame. It is important to create safe and supportive relationships for them to find healing and their own voice.
