Interrupt Trauma Reactions with Love

Trauma can be a long-lasting experience. It can affect individuals for their entire life. It sensitizes the neurological system towards stress and fear eventually leading to a conditioned state. This conditioning leads to a stress sensitive and fear-filled child. This chronic state of living in fear makes life very challenging because any stressor can trigger a traumatic reaction. This conditioned state can only be interrupted with love. My other articles and newsletters on fear are available to you as a free resource.

Parents Look Within to Trigger Oxytocin

It is critical for parents to be able to see the fear and stress within themselves. When parents can be a witness to their own stress, they have a greater ability to calm themselves. If fear or stress is present, they can take a few deep breaths become regulated. This turns on their oxytocin response. As the parent becomes calm they are able to handle their child’s fear and stress and then assist the child in triggering their oxytocin response.
