Complex Trauma
Description
Given the current social and political climate it is important to increase our understanding of complex trauma to ensure we effectively support those we serve. There has been much debate in the literature about the nature diagnosis and treatment of complex trauma including how it differs in progression from isolated traumatic incidents. Although exposure to isolated events produces specific behavioural and biological responses experiences of repeated chronic and/or prolonged traumatization tend to interfere with our neurobiological and emotional development inhibiting our ability to integrate sensory emotional and cognitive information into a meaningful whole. Symptomatology associated with complex trauma is pervasive and multifaceted often leading to increased contact with a variety of correctional medical and social services.
