We're gaining more understanding about psychological trauma and it's impact on, not only the mind, but the body.  One major thing we've learned is that a "trauma" isn't confined to only life-threatening events like combat or accidents.  A trauma can be any situation where one feels unsafe, helpless, and powerless.  Interpersonal trauma, especially when experienced within relationships with a caregiver, can be especially painful.  It's important to work towards healing these wounds, but also, to do so in a safe manner.
