Planet Earth, 2020. The human race is suffering, bombarded by a constant barrage of chaos, buckling under a shared state of collective trauma. This is nothing short of spiritual warfare . . .
Let's explore the psychology of human trauma. We all know the condition known as post-traumatic syndrome, perhaps intimately (especially after the year 2020). The term was introduced by psychologist Charles Figley (1978), a Vietnam War veteran and author of Stress Disorders among Vietnam Veterans. Since the 1970s, PTSD has been recognized as prevalent amongst survivors of the Holocaust and other global genocides, mass refugee exodus, wars, natural disasters, terrorism, mass shootings, human trafficking, rape, domestic violence, and child abuse or neglect.
So, what is complex post-traumatic syndrome (C-PTSD)? Described by trauma experts (as much as I loathe to use the term) from the Arizona Trauma Institute, C-PTSD is a condition which results from repeated exposure to toxic stress or other traumatic experiences. Have you watched any mainstream news or engaged in social media lately? I shamelessly digress. The C-PTSD sufferer develops the defense mechanism of constant hypervigilance, the so-called victim unable to feel safe or relaxed under most so-called normal life circumstances. The symptoms are myriad, including chronic pain, anxiety, depression, persistent relationship problems, self-harm, and suicide, just to name a few. Stephen Porges (2017), a pioneer researcher in PTSD, describes trauma as “a chronic disruptor of connectedness with others.” The sufferer has great difficulty or is unable to engage with and bond socially with fellow humans, also known as co-regulation, a crucial concept in the treatment of C-PTSD. The solution? In short, the face of fear met with fear or even a neutral visage perpetuates the threat response. However, met with a face of compassion and benevolence, the threat response is interrupted.
