“Trauma compromises our ability to engage with others by replacing patterns of connection with patterns of protection.”
- Stephen Porges
In a study published in 2024, the researchers found that 62.7% of Texan adults experienced at least 1 adverse childhood experience (ACE). ACEs are traumatic experiences that someone had as a child. If left untreated in childhood, they may develop more chronic reactions to trauma. However, traumatic experiences also occur in adults through domestic violence, car accidents, natural disasters, and more. These lead to acute reactions.
At SUN Behavioral Health Houston, we aim to help you understand that reactions to trauma, including acute ones, are expected. Our goal is to help patients learn how to heal from what they went through. Today, we are going to discuss managing acute reactions to trauma.
