Webinar: psychological traumas' impacts on the individual and the society
TOPICS
WHAT IS TRAUMA?
In the last 30 years, the concept of trauma has undergone a true revolution. Thanks to advances in neuroscience and imaging tests, it is now possible to safely say that many situations of everyday abuse and neglect -- often naturalized by society -- can be as traumatic for children and adolescents as the experiences lived by war fighters or victims of natural disasters. Given this, the question remains: what is trauma, after all?
Not all traumas are the same. Its impairments and symptoms can vary immensely depending on the origin and moment in which the trauma occurred -- the earlier in life, the more lasting and widespread the impacts. From child psychoanalysis in the late 1940s to current functional neuroimaging examinations, we will explore the relationship between Attachment Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorders.
TYPES OF TRAUMA
Traumas cause changes in the functioning of the brain and significant damage to physical and mental health. People with untreated trauma experience a way of thinking, feeling and behaving deformed by the trauma, and this deformation ends up permeating and complicating various areas of life.

What are the signs of unresolved trauma? How do psychological traumas manifest in our health, productivity, physical and emotional well-being, habits, difficulties, reactions and relationships? And what are the social and collective losses?
IMPACTS
Psychoeducation plays a central role in raising awareness about trauma and its prevention. We need to be able to identify the social, community and individual determinants at the root of psychological trauma to combat it collectively, effectively and comprehensively.
