Understanding Trauma and Toxic Stress
Before we can begin addressing these issues, we must first understand what they are. Trauma is an emotional response to an intense event that threatens or causes harm, either physical or emotional. This can be a one-time event, a sustained event, or chronic, lasting over a long period. Toxic Stress, on the other hand, is chronic, intense stress that can disrupt early brain development, and increase the likelihood of lifelong problems.
"The words ‘stress’ and ‘trauma’ are often used interchangeably but they have different nuances of meaning when it comes to our health."
Importance of Trauma and Toxic Stress Training
Combatting trauma and toxic stress begins with proper training and education. By understanding the physical, psychological and emotional effects of trauma and toxic stress, we can build strategies to navigate these issues effectively. In this light, professionals working in all sectors have a crucial role, and should acquire skills to recognize and respond to signs of trauma and stress in all their varied forms.
