Trauma rewires the brain: what does the healing process look like?

The Hindu  

Trauma changes the brain. But I’ve also met some who’ve had significant familial and social support, who have said this was an awful event in my life, but it is not my life story, it doesn’t define me. Let’s talk about the trauma of assault, something that occurs as an individual event Think of a child, who has a trusted grandfather. So when a child learns that they can have an honest experience with something that’s negative, but also place it within the story of resilience, within the story of what I’m capable of, within the story of ‘this doesn’t define me’, then I’m less likely to engage in fight or flight or freeze. If we invite child to begin to tell the story and just let them tell it, we’ll get the most accurate story.
