Studies from the World Mental Health Survey Consortium estimate up to 70% of the global population will experience a traumatic event in their lifetime; such events may include violence, natural disasters, accidents, or severe neglect.

Trauma theory, as explored in Mission Connection's guide, suggests that lasting psychological trauma will occur if the individual is overwhelmed, if their safety is threatened, or if the event creates feelings of helplessness.

Depending on the duration of the exposure and the number of events that the individual experiences, trauma may be acute, chronic, or complex - the latter two types may result in psychological challenges and can damage the patient’s emotional well-being, including their ability to form interpersonal relationships.

The guide explains that trauma can also impact the brain, which forces the body to retain the shock it experienced at the time of the event. This can result in somatic responses, such as trembling, shaking, dissociation, or an intense startle reflex; it may also prompt physiological changes, including increased cortisol production, immune system dysregulation, and altered brain function in regions that affect mood and memory.

Due to the profound effects of trauma on a person’s neurobiology, proper psychological treatment should promote safety and reconnection with the self and others - an approach known as trauma-informed care.

According to Mission Connection’s team, research has found that trauma-focused treatments can significantly reduce PTSD symptoms in affected individuals. Evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can assist patients in reframing thought patterns, while eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and somatic therapies address the body’s emotional and physical responses to certain stimuli.

Additionally, patients who build resilience through self-care and are given access to social and financial support systems are more likely to recover from trauma than those who receive traditional treatments alone. Mission Connection therefore suggests that mental health institutions adopt strategies that focus on building resilience into their trauma-focused care for more positive outcomes.
