Uh Are there sort of different categorizations of of trauma from like small to big or If we're if we're using the definition that trauma is anything that overwhelms our coping mechanisms. So there are changes in the brain when our coping mechanisms are overwhelmed, and on the other side of that our brains are different. So that's the biological definition. Then we would look at well how do we how do we get there? Right. And and we it breaks down into three categories then of acute

chronic or vicarious. So the acute trauma is how we've traditionally seen trauma. So if you think about the idea that people were shell-shocked after World War One, right, that was acute trauma, combat trauma. So our traditions of looking at trauma come from acute trauma and it's just more evident. You know, after someone dies or there's an injury or there's a car accident, like you know, we can see that, oh, okay, gosh, that could But makes some difference in the in the person. Like we can kinda get that. And sometimes we can see the change in the person from before and after. So we have tended to equate Trauma and post-trauma syndromes, like what happens to us after those changes in the brain are now with us to acute trauma. But but again, it's not a soft definition.
