Adina, this is a fantastic and insightful article. There is a great disconnect between living in a society where a significant fraction of men and women have experienced trauma, and the make-believe world we have at work that "everyone is fine... That happens over there..."
I'm going to print this article out and keep it in my collection of "Good resources for tough conversations while coaching" materials
The disconnect is real. In the UK the most conservative estimates put the number of adults with a childhood trauma history at 15% yet we go about things as if these people do not exist or do not require support.
