“Of course the pain of separation from those we love is for all of us a devastating
experience, but for the dependent child, the whole world collapses and everything loses
meaning. The worst thing that can happen is that trauma can be so great and the child feels
helpless in the face of it.”
D.W Winnicot.

A definition of Trauma.
“ At the moment of trauma, the victim is (made) helpless by overwhelming force… Traumatic events over whelm the ordinary systems of care that give people a sense of control, connection and meaning.”
(Herman, 1992/1997).
