What Trauma Does to People

"When in jeopardy, our body mobilizes its defenses. All our physical systems achieve high states of readiness. Adrenaline flows. The electrochemical reactions between synapses in the brain accelerate. It's just like an automobile driven at the maximum possible speed. The sustained, flat-out performance pushes the car's mechanical system past its limits. Pretty soon, things start to break down.
Our bodies and minds will react the same way. When pushed past their limits, they begin to fall apart.
Some traumas that occur as a result of betrayal create damage that is residual. That is, we do not see it or understand it until later. Some traumas, especially over time, can alter how our systems operate."

Wed, 02/03/2010 - 03:21 — tashaI've heard the term 'trauma bonding' before. Like an unholy bond forged in your pain with your abuser!
I spoke with this at length with my pyschologist. I never let go of my ex husband for five long years-could'nt understand it, now I do and I probably had ptsd aswell. Was'nt until I was in trauma again-I had to work backwards, present to past and start I guess process all my feelings, put them in context(removing all the Narcs in my lifes projections and crap) address everything.
I think I'm doing okay now. As well as can be :)
I wasn't convinced until now
Tue, 02/02/2010 - 23:40 — KellyI guess I was beginning to think I could cope and that I'm getting better. This article made me think twice.
Now I'm thinking, I've been trying to cope and maybe I keep walking into the same situation every time because I never healed from my first trauma. I never really talked about the first N with anyone because my friends are friends with him and I didn't want to make waves.
I was even in therapy at the time for something else - - a horribly traumatic car accident - - that I may not have entirely healed from, and I never really brought up the first N.
I talked about him a little, but I never really got into all the sordid details. I just felt stupid and gross having been with him, so I buried it as much as I could.
