Trauma creates a 'ripple effect'...
Immediately following trauma, one is put into 'survival mode'...
This mode persists for days, weeks, months, years.
Then the first 'ripple' of residual trauma damage hits, and there's an emotional come apart process.
After that, things smooth out again...
Then after one has 'recovered' enough from the previous trauma wave, and has the necessary fortitude to weather another one...
The next trauma wave/ripple comes.
And this is a successive process, until the 'ripples' are smaller and smaller.
Depending on the scope of the trauma, this process can last a lifetime.
