Changes
by JeffAll changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

Trauma
by JeffTrauma can be defined as an event of such intensity or magnitude that it would overwhelm any human being’s capacity to cope with the demands of life.
Alan D. Wolfelt, 2009, p. 13
I see trauma occurring on a continuum ranging from simple to complex. Simple trauma can be described as psychological wounds which have less intrusive origins. Simple traumas are unpleasant but manageable and resolve without great care or attention. Complex trauma is characterized by the symptoms which occur in post-traumatic stress disorder (i.e., intrusive recurring thoughts, avoidance, increased arousal).
