For clinicians, understanding that trauma underlies and perpetuates many common health conditions helps clarify why certain conditions often remain refractory to standard medical treatment. This understanding, in turn, can lead to deeper and more compassionate connections with patients and more effective treatment plans. For patients, understanding the connection between the experience of trauma and their current health issues can lead to greater self-acceptance, engagement in care, healthier coping mechanisms, and improved health outcomes.
