11 分钟What are the different types of trauma?
Are there sort of different categorizations of trauma from, like, small to big?
Or if we're.
If we're using the definition that trauma is anything that overwhelms our coping mechanisms.
So there are changes in the brain when our coping mechanisms are overwhelmed.
And on the other side of that, our brains are different.
So that's the biological definition, then we would look at, well, how do we.
How do we get there?
And it breaks down into three categories, then, of acute, chronic, or vicarious.
So the acute trauma is how we've traditionally seen trauma.
So if you think about the idea that people were shell shocked after world War one, that was acute trauma.
Combat trauma.
So our traditions of looking at trauma come from acute trauma, and it's just more evident after someone dies or there's an injury or there's a car accident.
We can see that.
Oh, okay.
Gosh, that could.
What makes some difference in the person?
We can kind of get that.
And sometimes we can see the change in the person from before and after.
So we have tended to equate trauma and post trauma syndromes, like what happens to us after those changes in the brain are now with us to acute trauma.
