It's not OK. We have to try and stop it and we have to try and sort of help nurture and heal the people that have been victimized by it. But I'm not sure that's what you're asking.

Sure. So it's one being recognized. in your community and broader communities. And I think you're also saying that not only is it being recognized, but it's sort of like being normed that it's totally not okay, and we gotta prevent it, then we gotta do something about it. I think that's what you're saying, right?

Let me help you with this. I think what you're saying is there are different sequelae caused by trauma. The classic one that gets talked about is post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD. You've heard of it? Yes, I have. If we're talking about what are the criteria of that, one, you have to be at least six years of age or older and you've got to be exposed with actual or threatened death

serious injury, sexual violence in one of a number of different ways that the threat could be. You could be directly experiencing it or a series of those kinds of events yourself. You could be witnessing it in person as it occurs to other.

You can learn about it that a close family, a relative or a close family friend has been threatened or maimed or whatever it is by violence, whether it's accidental or whether it's intentional. There are even studies that if you're a police or fire responder that are exposed to it repeatedly, you can get post-traumatic stress disorder. But you said age six. Tell me more about that.

That's the youngest. If you're younger than six, by definition, you might be traumatized, but somehow it's not clear that it really causes PTSD. You know, like I said, we're always sort of learning more, and I don't think it's been studied in the youngest group that much to know for sure, you know?

So what happens is, so you get exposed to it, and then you have recurrent things that are not kind of like memories of the traumatic thing and reactions to it that you can't control. And you have distressing dreams. You might dissociate. You might have flashbacks.

um and for a brief moment you feel like you're back there again if it's a flashback and you're totally in the moment re-experiencing the terror and the hopelessness and the powerlessness that are typically associated with it you know and um You even have things that remind you of when you were traumatized and abused or whatever it was. You try to avoid it. You can't stop thinking about it.

And it continues to sort of torture you psychologically. And you have like adrenaline surges and anxiety. You know, it affects how you think. You become vigilant. You become insecure, kind of scared. And, you know, you build up sort of like exaggerated responses, both physiologically and psychologically at exposure or things that would remind you about it.

You know, sometimes you personalize it and blame yourself, even though it wasn't your fault.
