Trauma Abuse – What is it?
Trauma abuse is any event that has an extremely negative impact on your life and behavior. The most important aspect of understanding trauma abuse is realizing that although two individuals may experience the same event, the effect it has on one individual is not necessarily the same on the other. What one individual believes to be benign another can see as detrimental. To this end, trauma abuse can range from being left out of a sporting activity in elementary school to a home invasion or medical emergency. How the event is experienced and perceived goes a long way to shape their future behavior and thinking.
Women and Abuse
Trauma abuse is experienced by a person physically, emotionally, sexually, intellectually and/or spiritually. Although trauma abuse knows no gender or sociological boundaries, women and abuse is a rising concern, mostly in the areas of sexual and physical abuse.
