Copypasta about Trauma

seeyat"The mainstream mental illness industry describes trauma as an event or diagnosis, rather than what it truly is: a disruption of the nervous system’s ability to stay connected, safe, and coherent.
What I do is different. From an Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) perspective, trauma is not defined by what happened to us but by what happened *inside* us when support and safety were absent. It’s not a disorder, but an injury of internal and relational disconnection. Healing isn’t about “treating symptoms” but about restoring integration: helping the brain, body, and relationships return to balance.
The trauma industry too often focuses on techniques and protocols while ignoring the deeper need for attuned human connection. It treats survivors as isolated patients instead of as nervous systems trying to find resonance and safety in an unsafe world. In doing so, it can inadvertently reinforce the fragmentation trauma creates.
Trauma healing doesn’t happen in isolation or through tools alone; it happens in spaces of compassion, attunement, and shared humanity where safety and connection can grow again."
