A short interview clip from Dr. Nicole Cain (YouTube, Mar 14, 2024) where she reframes "trauma" as any experience that requires an adaptation by the mind, body, or nervous system. She notes a shift in mental-health language away from labeling experiences as "trauma" toward describing them as adverse events that necessitate adaptation.

Chapters

Hey, Dr. Cain, everybody's been talking about trauma, and can you explain to people kind of what that means? So the question is, a lot of people have been asking about trauma and what is trauma? And trauma is essentially anything that requires an adaptation from your mind, your body and or your nervous system. So something that is really benign and okay for one person may require another person to adapt. It could be stressful for them. And so kind of in the mental health field, shifting away from the language of trauma, and we're talking more about adverse events that require an adaptation.
