About This Quote
The core issue in trauma is reality. Trauma can be thought of as the result of an extreme interpretation of reality, which has been distorted by an event. The person feels helpless and out of control; they feel like they are unable to alter their current environment or alter the course of their future. They feel like the world around them is not good or safe enough, and they are alienated from it.
They may feel disconnected from themselves and others, and dissociated from their own experience. This dissociation contributes to the person’s inability to maintain healthy relationships or function in society.
