It's interesting that you use the word perseverate because one of the characteristics of trauma when it affects children is that it robs them from play. Play is something that's essential in development. It's how we grow socially, emotionally, physically. But when play becomes traumatic play, it becomes non-joyful. But it becomes perseverant and repetitive.

But it becomes perseverant and repetitive.

This is the attempt of the individual to try to make sense of what happened. And the reason why it's not good to be alone with it and kind of perseverate on it by oneself is that we're probably not looking at the right insult. So in our experience, usually PTSD doesn't result from that one traumatic event.

We all carry a backpack and we can all carry all the stressors that have come our way, like we were saying before. But if you're five, six, seven years old and that backpack gets really heavy, you can fall backwards. And when you fall backwards, that's because you don't have the tools really to carry that. But what I'm saying is that it is the accumulation

of stressors, some of which may be traumatic, that cause the symptoms of PTSD. So for example, some of us went to Haiti after an earthquake, right? And I was starting my program at that time. I was very young, all ready to talk about earthquakes and know everything about earthquakes. It was the last thing they wanted to talk about.

They saw the earthquake as an opportunity to talk about the violence they had been experiencing, the poverty, the lack of education. So they were talking to me about everything they were carrying that led some of them to develop symptoms of PTSD.

Epidemiological studies confirm your assertion. Children, we think, we usually, you know, one line that I really don't like is, children are resilient. Because children are really not. They are more vulnerable. They have the opportunity to become resilient if we help them and we tell them what tools to use and how to develop and all of that.

But they are more vulnerable to PTSD, and part of it might be that neuroplasticity. And this is why we care for them, right? This is why we protect them and give them safety, because they are vulnerable. By the same token, that neuroplasticity can work both ways. Because if PTSD is teaching us that the environment can have an impact on biology, that's the only lesson, right?
