The Four Types of Trauma Responses
Each trauma response type – fight, flight, freeze and fawn – has distinct characteristics. Recognizing these can help individuals identify their own reactions to stress or danger and seek appropriate support.
Understanding and defining trauma can be aided by the “Three E's of Trauma,” a concept developed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA). These “Three E's” are: Event, Experience, and Effect.
It won't rid you of PTSD and your fears, but let your tears flow and you'll maybe feel a little better afterwards. 'Crying for long periods of time releases oxytocin and endogenous opioids, otherwise known as endorphins. These feel-good chemicals can help ease both physical and emotional pain.
It shows up as tight muscles, clenched shoulders, chronic headaches, and most commonly, digestive issues. These symptoms may not make sense to a physician, but a trauma-informed therapist can often tell that the discomfort is linked to a painful event your mind is trying to move on from.
The 'fight or flight' response is how people sometimes refer to our body's automatic reactions to fear. There are actually 5 of these common responses, including 'freeze', 'flop' and 'friend', as well as 'fight' or 'flight'.

Trauma Signs and Symptoms
In univariate analyses, all 5 forms of childhood trauma in this study (ie, witnessing violence, physical neglect, emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse) demonstrated statistically significant relationships with the number of different aggressive behaviors reported in adulthood.
The "8 childhood traumas" often refer to common Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) from the CDC, including physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, physical neglect, emotional neglect, household substance abuse, a household member with mental illness, and parental separation/divorce, though these can be expanded to include things like violence, discrimination, or sudden loss, which profoundly impact a child's development and well-being. These experiences, especially repeated ones (complex trauma), disrupt a child's sense of safety, leading to issues with trust, emotional regulation, and relationships, often manifesting as anxiety, depression, or attachment problems in adulthood.
Overthinking is a trauma response that often begins during childhood if an individual experiences neglectful, invalidating or abusive events.
Trauma dumping occurs when an individual shares their traumatic experiences without the recipient's consent, often at inappropriate times or places. This act can place undue emotional pressure on someone who may not be prepared or able to process such intense information.
While all traumas leave a profound mark on an individual's life, there's a different level of difficulty in recovering from what's called "complex trauma." Unlike single-incident traumas, complex trauma stems from repeated experiences of stressful and traumatic events, usually in environments where there's no escape.
However, traumatic experiences, such as emotional abuse, neglect, or sexual trauma, can disrupt the flow of energy in the sacral chakra, leading to sacral chakra blockages and imbalances.
To those who have experienced trauma: God understands your pain. He's been drawing near and binding up the wounds of trauma from the beginning. His Word is power, his hand is gentle, and his intentions are for your good.
Symptoms of Unhealed Trauma
Experiencing sudden warmth, heat waves, or blushing in the body may be another sign of trauma release. Physical sensations are often linked to the body processing past stress or emotional memories. They're another sign that the body is changing as it lets go of stored trauma, such as from difficult memories.
Oversharing can be a trauma response as a way to seek connection, create feelings of intimacy, or protect yourself by pushing people away. It's a part of the fawn response, in which you over-disclose to appease others and avoid rejection, conflict, or harm.
