BMAC - Child Trauma

Trauma happens when any experience is just too much for us to handle, it overwhelms us, leaving us altered and disconnected from our bodies. We are left feeling totally helpless and hopeless. The impact of trauma differs from child to child taking into account many factors, like age and trauma history. Younger children may be more likely to become overwhelmed by common occurrences that may not impact an older child. While the nature of the trauma is important it does not define trauma. The trauma resides in the child's nervous system and their self-protective process is now out of balance. Many children are fairly resilient when traumatic events occur, but many are deeply impacted and may require childhood therapy.
