About this episode

In this moment, world-renowned trauma expert, Paul Conti discusses the different forms that trauma can take.


Paul defines trauma as anything that overwhelms your coping mechanisms, which in turn changes the structure of your brain.


Trauma can be broken down into 3 types: acute, chronic, or vicarious.

Acute is a very evident type of trauma, and the one most people think of, this includes PTSD. Chronic trauma occurs over a longer period of time, and includes racism, bullying and neglect. Finally, vicarious trauma is the trauma people can get due to empathising with another person’s trauma and feeling their pain.


Paul also outlines the hypothesis of ‘multiple hit’ trauma. This is the idea that after multiple traumas it can became too much for a person to cope with, and even a small trauma can then push a person over the edge. This hypothesis completely disproves the idea that what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.
