Understanding & Managing the Impact of Medical Trauma 

Thank you for this❤

So glad I stumbled across this. This was so validating and you provided a good bit of thought provoking information. As a mom of a child who suffered from medical trauma I’ve struggled to find the type of resources needed to help support my child.

When Anna was talking about hypervigilance and being taught as a child with Marfan to be hyper aware of your body -- it took me until I was an adult to realize that the chest pain I experienced as a kid had nothing to do with my heart but everything to do with the extreme amount of tension I carried in my neck, shoulders, and chest from social anxiety. Sometimes we get so caught up with our "rare" problems that we forget to factor in "normal" problems.
