The Five Bs Affected By Trauma

Wondering exactly what is affected by Trauma?
*Neurodiversity is also a trauma*
Science says there are five BS affected by trauma:
Brain
Biology
Body
Beliefs
Behavior
Let's talk about beliefs!
What does your child believe?
CHILDREN WITH A TRAUMA HISTORY ALTERED BELIEF SYSTEMS.
Beliefs - an altered belief system, or the lens through which they see
the world.
Beliefs are often overlooked when it comes to parenting kiddos with a trauma history and/or Capital Letter Syndrome. We adults sometimes operate under the mistaken assumption that our kiddos believe the same
things about themselves that we do. Also, our extended family, churches, and schools may think that kiddos with trauma histories have a set of moral values and beliefs similar to their own.
If you’ve never thought about the fact that beliefs are affected by trauma, stop for a minute and think about one of your deeply held beliefs. Positive or negative. Maybe you believe that every life is valuable. Maybe you
believe the opposite.
When I am hosting workshops I usually hone in on a few types of beliefs for the attendees - Do you believe the chair you are sitting in will hold you?
Then I throw in a religious belief that people are usually more adamant
about. Do you believe in God?
What would it take me to convince you that your belief isn’t true? Could I? Could I do it in a two-hour period? How about a week? A month? A year?
