The following videos are presented by Holding Space team member, Treena Costin, and provide an extended discussion of the topic: What is Trauma? The videos can be watched separately but we suggest viewing them as part of a series of videos, as each video builds on the previous video.
What is Trauma? - Part 1 provides a definition of trauma and includes examples from everyday life to help illustrate key points
What is Trauma? – Part 2 provides a more visual representation of what trauma is (this will be particularly helpful for visual learners).
The Classification of Trauma will hopefully help you to develop a deeper understanding of trauma and possible traumatic experiences.
