Broad Definition Of Trauma
- Trauma includes any experience that repeatedly fires up your nervous system, not just major traumatic events.
- These patterned responses get programmed into the body and influence adult behavior.
Nervous System Learns Patterns
- Trauma is when your nervous system repeatedly goes on alert and learns a conditioned response.
- Childhood patterns like bracing for a parent's behavior get encoded and later replayed unconsciously.

- The mind prioritizes negative experiences to protect you from harm, which biases memory.
- You must deliberately build positive programming to counter that default.
