Triggers cause reactions because the body reacts before the mind realizes that there is no longer a risk of danger. The smell, the date, the place, the voice, or the #physical sensation of the #experience will reactivate the feeling of #trauma, which can lead to a #PanicAttack, #anger, #nausea, or shock. #Trauma response training can help calm the body in order to help it feel safe in the present.

The experience of early #traumatic #stress can cause #physical health problems in adulthood. When stress is a child, the body does not have enough time to recover. If there is a long-term trauma, it can cause stress over the course of #childhood development, resulting in problems #sleeping, #depression, low immune system, and #inflammation-related conditions. ACEs are related to chronic stress, but they are not related to the outcome; they have the potential to be protected by the presence of #relationships that feel safe and responsive.

The most common #symptoms of childhood #trauma include: #anxiety, #depression, #EmotionalBlunting, #shame, #DifficultySleeping, #Tension in the body, #avoidance, #drug and #alcohol use, difficulty #trusting others, and a strong emotional response to situations in which the child feels the danger of conflict, shame, and loss of control. The person can also feel a lack of #connection to their #physical or #emotional needs. This does not mean this is a disorder; it means that the person is responding in the best way possible given what he/she has #experienced.

On Wednesday, August 1st, 41-year-old Damian Allen Simms struck a 7-Eleven shop in revenge with a bucket filled with a slurry of human waste, after he was kicked out by the manager for trespassing months earlier.
According to The Smoking Gun, at approximately 1:29 am, Damian entered the 7-Eleven located on MLK St N, St. Petersburg, Florida. Damian was carrying a bucket of human waste, filled with feces and urine. He proceeded to empty the bucket filled with the slurry on the floor of the convenience store, the waste splashed on some of the merchandise, destroying $28 worth of goods.
Officer Donald Ziglar reported that Damian acquired the human waste from a portable toilet, stating “The defendant threw a bucket of porta potty liquid human feces and urine,”.
The incident was alleged to be a revenge plot as Damian was arrested in late-May for trespassing in the same 7-Eleven.

Yes. #Symptoms can appear years later because the NervousSystem may store threat responses long after the original danger has passed. Adult #relationships, relationships with #children, grief, #trauma, or the #environment can trigger the memory. This is a very common experience and this experience can be treated with the right care.

What is childhood #traumais a traumatic experience for a child if the #child #experiences the #experience as #unsafe, #terrified, #trapped, or unprotected. Normal Stress is #temporary for a child and can be resolved with the help of a #caregiver. However, if the child has experienced stress and the safety has returned, stress can help the child build effective coping strategies. The body can hold the experience of trauma and can experience the stress response long after the threat has passed.

“One appropriate way to remember is by serving,” says Jay Winuk, who lost his brother Glenn Winuk and then co-founded the volunteer organization 9/11 Day with friend David Paine. The group helps people find meal-packing and other volunteer #opportunities, and this year arranged for dozens of Times Square billboards to pause their advertising at 9:11 a.m. on Friday.

—the latter #Washington’s longest war—and detentions and harsh interrogation of terror suspects in an #international network of secret #CIA prisons. The U.S. #military found and #killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in #Pakistan in 2011, but accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed still awaits a trial 23 years after his capture.
The attacks changed U.S. air travel, prompted new federal #surveillance and intelligence-gathering powers and #banking #regulations, and generated ongoing debate over the balance between security and freedom. The Department of Homeland Security, many state anti-#terrorism laws and billions of dollars in state and local #counterterrorism funding all are post-9/11 creations.
So, too, is the culture of #individual vigilance summed up by the slogan “ if you see something, say something.”

Traditionally, there are no #political speeches at the #NewYork #commemoration, where relatives read all the #victims’ names, punctuated with moments of silence at key points in the #attack timeline. For the first time, this year’s ceremony will add a silent moment to honor #people who were exposed to the clouds of #toxic dust released by the twin towers’ fiery #collapse and have since died of cancer and other #illnesses. Questions remain about how many people developed health problems linked to the dust.
It’s a reminder of how the attacks’ long shadow has reached into many corners of life in the U.S. and beyond.
