He said, the deal is, is therapists are friends.
And, you know, that's the biggest thing is if you feel anybody in your family is experiencing that, helping them identify and talk with them and find people that they trust and feel safe with to express what they're going through, um,
That's really the biggest step.
Yeah.
So really, when we talk about trauma, trauma is really in response to an experience that
Our body takes on where we feel that our safety is threatened.
And when we take on trauma, it really activates circuitry in our brain that's related to the stress and anxiety circuitry where it changes, where an individual is
unable to really respond to their environment in a timely manner.
And so a lot of what I talked about earlier, when individuals experiencing trauma, you know, they can either seem hypervigilant, you know, they can really have strong behaviors, have a lot of reactivity, hyperactivity, or you could have trauma where somebody becomes kind of dissociated and they're kind of withdrawn from their environment.
And I think with a pandemic, when you think about this, we know in our particular lifetime, we haven't dealt with anything like this, but it's as close as when you think about trauma of dealing with war, right?
Where there are going to be scars that need to be healed over time.
And I think that the thing about trauma is you don't know
per se, when an individual is experiencing it, how it's going to manifest over time.
And I think that there are so many unknowns about this pandemic that we're really in, that we don't know how it's going to shift, you know, the mind and body reaction and how, you know, when a pandemic, an event can happen like this, you can also have shift
A shift where people move into a higher awareness and they kind of move into an awakening where they can kind of rise to challenge and recognize that they can move through this.
And so I think, you know, the effects of trauma, we can't totally pinpoint how long it's going to last or what exactly it's going to shift, you know, in the psyche long term.
Yeah, well, I think there's a couple of things.
So when an individual is feeling trauma, you know, it's really their safety is threatened.
And when you can help a child and even yourself kind of ground into your experience and recognize and identify, okay, what part of this experience do I feel is unsafe for me?
And you can shift your narrative that, okay, well, if I stay inside today and I follow shelter in place, I follow, you know, social distancing, that in itself, you know, can rewire you to a place of safety.
