You are not “crazy” - you are traumatized. They are not “crazy” - they are traumatized. If you can remember that trauma has an impact on the neurobiology of the survivor, the common symptomatology caused by exposure to trauma will be easier to recognize, understand, and manage. Trauma initiates the survival response in a person. The amygdala is essentially the alarm system of the brain, and trauma can cause the amygdala to become overactive and cause a person to be overly stimulated with the feeling of danger, even when they are in a safe space. The other areas of the brain that would typically help suppress these amygdala-driven feelings of danger have been shown to become less active after exposure to trauma, which can also be the cause of many of the distressing symptoms a person experiences after surviving a traumatic event. Use the graphic of the neurobiology of trauma to better understand many of the common responses after exposure to trauma. https://www.traumawheel.com/about daily 0.75 2023-12-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614fb349b4fcfe7439b86adb/1635611141135-VRY62HPQR5DA2BHVDVU6/TrumaWheel+Graphic+v8-01.png About - Here to help you heal.
