Fact Sheet: Trauma Response

 

Trauma is extreme stress which can overwhelm a person’s capacity to cope.  As a result a stress response may be activated, and particularly with complex trauma, this stress response can remain switched on.  This fact sheet outlines how people who have experienced trauma or complex trauma may respond to different types of triggers.
