Trauma is so bibig with us said if you think you have never seen it
You have not looked
We meet people who fly off the handle
We meet people who shut down
We meet people who are very difficult
No
It's as a rare family
That doesn't have a drug
Edct alcoholic disturbed prison
We know one thing
I'd like to say they give elecorate are there any normal people come from normal families in the audience
And sometimes what or two people raise a hands say can i please come to your family for thanksgiving
Because i've never been to a normal family
My name is vessel vandlacoke
I'm a psychiatriist droscicititist
I been been stuying in trauma for about fifty years
Now i have treated a whole variety of different trauma test populations see trauma in many different countries around world
And i am at the author of the book
The body keeps his core
It's important for people to realize that not every meant of health professional knows
But we're talking about you
The mainstream system of of psychitigy psychology is that it's something wrong with you
And i need to fix you
That's a very different attitude than needing with trauma around that time
That i first started to work with va a group of us
Started to define botrauma is
And started to define what happens to people
Ninethousand and seventy eight was a year
And vietnam war was over red by about six or seven years
The very first day that i'd met vietnam veterans
I was just blown away
They kept referring back to their dead congress
Their heart seem to be with the people who were no longer around they at a hard time loving their bives and girlfriends
They had a hard time
Being at anyway
Meaningfully involved to the present
These were guys
Who were my age
Who were smart and competent
But they clearly were just a shadow of their firm
Mself amazon is also really stacking
Is every surve passive much at the time
And
And people told him something have just disasapinting
And they went from zero to ten and blew up
And became extremely angry
Something seems to have epitited m
That made it very harsh for them to modulate their responser to the environment my colleagues
And i started to think about how is what these guys suffer from different from what other people who are in sechirif textbooks
It suffer from so igg up a book tips as written ten the nineteen hundred and forty one by abrim gardener who have been working with throat poor soldiers
He wrote these guys suffer from the physiy nerrosthat bodies continued to v experience that very terrible frightening situation
And that the event keeps coming back in terms of images behaviors and physical sensations
So it became at the core of our definition of pts d we write these people have been exposed to an extraordinary events as outside of normal human experience
And in rerospect
That shows us how ignorance
And they are all mindas we were
Because it turned out that this is not the unusual experience at all taua a actually alig
But before thought extremely common one out of five women in america has a history of section modest station
Even lolot of en en hiissuosection modelestation one out of four kids get beaavery hard hard their parents one out of eight
Eight ds ds see physical fights within their parents
People usually think about the military when to talk about trauma
But when we started to work with inner city kids
The amount of traumadiis could experience was just unspespekable
The nature of trauma is that an experience enters into your ears
Into your skin
Into your eyes
And it goes down into a very primitive part of your brain
That automatically interprets what's going on
Is is dangerous or is is safe
A event becomes dramatic
When there is nothing you can do to stay ve the inevitable
And your body starts automatically going into the state of fight flights or collapse
The lingring effects of trauma is that you continue to react to mild stressers
As if your life is danger
And so you tend to become hyper reactive
Somebody may irrate you the supermarket
You may develop broadwage
You may have a difficult time putting up with misdificvior from disouse
Sure your kids and most people actually are be alty aware or not aware at all that they're acxes
That they 're having right now i actually root it in experience ces they have had before that event itself is over
But you continue to react to things as if you're endanger
It's a big challenge of teting trauma is how do we help people to live embodies that feel fundamentally safe
The tradition in metal health is that dismissed the reality of people's lives
For example
It's only in the past few years
That people are beginning to talk about the impact of poverty or the impact of racism or the impact of unemployment
And people have so been labelling
People you der something something wrong with you
That to be fix you
But if you go to a physician or metal health practition
Who doesn't understand that they're go to try to fix you with drugs or gorgtive tive eable triapment do not do these crazy things anymore adusely doesn't work prveria
But it's very clear is that being in a relationship
Where people can hear you
We could talk about how badly you feel
We could talk about your guilt
And where you can start opening up
Where these finisings come from how all these feelings are
And how you develop these feelings in responsiof particularthings that have happened to you
That's us actually quite helpful
Because you need to really develop a deep sense of this
What happened to me this
When i'm dealing with
And i need to take care of the wounds that i'm carrying inside of myself
This issue of self compassion
And really knowing that your reactors are understandable
And i rooted in you're getting stuck at the past is a terribly important part of beginning to recover from trauma
Most of us are survivors or one thing or another
Some much worse than others
And so if people say what we wish your legacy were essay
I want our society to know about trauma
And to really do all as zgtaa and necessary to that people who grow up under extreme at verse conditions can develop p sociein and a mind that can help them to become full flech members for society
That's our big issue necessibig challenge
If you have
