[libribook.com] Traumatic Scar Tissue Management 1st Edition

• The realization that one is about to die.
Each person’s trauma journey varies, depending on genetic predispositions,
tissue properties, cumulative effects, previous injuries and how their CNS and
psychological make-up reacts to trauma/stress stimuli (Barral & Croibier 1999).
Exposure to traumatic events can lead to varied psychological and physiological
difficulties, including an increased risk for chronic physical health problems and
chronic pain disorders, which are thought to be mediated through the three major
biological systems involved in the human stress response: neural, endocrine and
immune (Tursich 2013) – discussed in greater detail later in this chapter.
