Medical trauma is often associated with a single life-threatening event, but for many clients, it develops over months or years of navigating symptoms, appointments, uncertainty, and feeling unheard. Those experiences can shape how someone relates to their body, healthcare providers, and even the therapeutic process itself.
Understanding these patterns can help us move beyond symptom management and toward deeper clinical attunement and whole-person care. ๐
That's one of the reasons Unseen Wounds: Addressing Medical Trauma and Chronic Illness in Clinical Practice was created. To help clinicians better recognize and support the often-overlooked realities of chronic illness and medical trauma.
