Trauma literally makes one sick! This is such a beautifully written article, explaining much more than 'text books' about trauma. I understand how devastating trauma can be on one's life. From an infant, born in an abusive magdalen laundry (alias "mother and baby home"), in 1960's rural Ireland, and "given up" for adoption at 2 weeks old (although it took nearly a year to finalise, and for the first 6 weeks of my life, I was hospitalised). I received some "Polyvagal traumatic therapy" but it was short lived".

I wrote a story about it, this is it.
