____________________________________________
Prominent physicians (eg. Gabor Mate, MD) and authors estimate that Trauma accounts for more than 80% of chronic inflammation. This includes digestive dysfunction, immune inflammation, and emotional stress.

Trauma = stress = inflammation = gut microbiome dysfunction and autoimmunity.

There are some studies that predict a nearly 7fold increase, 700% increase in the incidence of certain autoimmune diseases in individuals that have experienced trauma in their lives.
That’s a lot, and that also means that life experience is more important than genetics as a cause of inflammation.

And if you think trauma doesn’t affect you, just remember that Trauma comes in two types

First there is CAPITAL T trauma. That’s Trauma with a capital T. This type of trauma includes things like neglect, extreme poverty, racism, bullying, sexual abuse, death of a family member, emotional and physical abuse, medical trauma, and divorce. Here you have an automatic response and a mindbody adaptation to a specific, identifiable, hurtful and overwhelming life event. This can occur in childhood, or even in adulthood.

Then you have “small t” trauma, and these are more subtle, less memorable, seemingly ordinary events. Maybe it was how you were raised, including your cultural beliefs, and what your parents valued. Trauma with a lower case T, is a disconnect from yourself, even in the absence of abuse, or overwhelming threat. It comes from the sorts of emotional connections you had to the people around you. This type of trauma affects nearly everyone and comes from the sorts of emotional connections you had to the people around you.
