DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRAUMA
Trauma does not look the same for everybody. It may follow one frightening event, repeated experiences over many years, a serious medical experience, bereavement, abuse, workplace events, discrimination, community violence or exposure to the trauma of others.
This detailed Space to Breathe Therapy guide helps readers understand acute, chronic, complex/developmental, relational, medical, bereavement, vicarious, community, workplace and cumulative trauma. It explores feelings, body responses, fight/flight/freeze/fawn and shutdown, triggers, grounding, recovery pathways and ways partners, families and friends can offer support.
Inside are supportive messages, a personal perspective, reflection prompts, message trackers, a recovery map, book suggestions, UK support information and clinical notes.
The aim is not to put people into boxes. It is to give language to experiences that can otherwise feel confusing and to remind the reader that healing can be individual, paced and built around safety, choice and connection.
