Defining Emotional Trauma & Introducing Trauma Worlds
'Trauma' is better defined not by the painful and frightening events that happen to us, but by their impact. If painful and frightening events are tended to at the time, they will heal and we will not be left with trauma. If, however, they are not attended to at the time, then we are likely to head down the path of trauma and find ourselves in a world that is built around fear, dissociation and shame - what I have named a 'trauma-world' (Sieff, 2015)
