Understanding The Unknown: Informed Parenting, Trauma or an Overstimulated Nervous System

Trauma can stem from many areas including: childhood abuse or neglect, separation, divorce, war and other forms of violence, medical interventions, grief and loss, accidents and natural disasters, witnessing acts of violence, cultural intergenerational and historical trauma, physical emotional or sexual abuse and affects a high percentage of people.

Similarly, an overstimulated nervous system or nervous system dysregulation, can also occur due to multiple factors, such as chronic stress, anxiety, unresolved past stress responses, sensory overload, poor sleep habits, or underlying medical conditions.

According to Statistics Canada in January 2023, 6 in 10 individuals living in Canada reported experiencing some form of child maltreatment before the age of 15.

This stat alone shows we have room for improvement, it also shows our potential for growth.
