“Unlike simple stress, trauma changes your view of your life and yourself. It shatters your most basic assumptions about yourself and your world — “Life is good,” “I’m safe,” “People are kind,” “I can trust others,” “The future is likely to be good” — and replaces them with feelings like “The world is dangerous,” “I can’t win,” “I can’t trust other people,” or “There’s no hope.” StressTraumaPtsdSense Of SelfPost Traumatic Stress DisorderDangerous WorldPosttraumatic Stress DisorderTraumatic StressLack Of TrustShattered SoulsWork View Book:Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder For Dummies Source: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder For Dummies
