Understanding Trauma and Brain Indigestion

Trauma has become a trending term, often misused to describe various experiences, leading to a loss of its true meaning. Trauma occurs when an experience overwhelms the brain's processing capacity, causing it to get 'stuck' and unable to digest or metabolize the event. This 'brain indigestion' manifests as symptoms like flashbacks and uncomfortable body sensations. While trauma is a serious and painful experience, it is essentially about the brain being physiologically stuck. The speaker prefers to focus on 'brain indigestion' rather than trauma as not everyone may relate to the term trauma, but most can understand the concept of getting stuck.
