Great comprehensive article on trauma which, as you've said, is a word often used but perhaps not always fully understood. I'm curious on your thoughts about alternative forms of professional therapy that don't rely heavily on talk therapy as a means to process trauma. You mentioned journaling and art as a tip but not specifically in reference to therapy and I've found that art therapy, movement / dance therapy, somatic therapy, equine and other animal therapy, etc. can sometimes provide a better "in" to processing trauma without retriggering it.
