Conversation for HOPE – What is Trauma?
"Trauma isn't what happens to us, it's our reaction to the things that happen to us," Sidney Hays, MSW, LISW, DARTT, Outpatient Therapist at Lindner Center of HOPE. Contrary to common belief, trauma is not confined to reactions triggered solely by scary, or life-threatening events. It encompasses any stressor that overwhelms us, where we don't have the time or resources to process the event and return to a place of safety and connection.
