Complex Trauma

I often say, trauma begets trauma. When trauma injuries occur several times, over many years, coping and reactionary mechanism build upon themselves. The layers of trauma injuries on the brain creates what is called complex trauma. The psyche is like the layers of an onion. Once complex trauma becomes a way of life, the journey to unfold each layer in order to witness, reprocess and heal offers a ripple effect upon the other layers of trauma. The path to healing complex trauma is one small step at a time, focusing on each aspect that shows up in personal and insidious ways for each unique person. When experiencing complex trauma, a sense of core self becomes faint and can become unrecognizable. As each persona, coping mechanism, and fragmented self reunites as a whole, health is restored.
