Welcome to Trauma Headquarters!
Trauma Headquarters is the home of the
Attachment Disorder Support Group (ADSG).
Trauma Headquarters and ADSG
share the same message forum.
If you have a child with a DSM IV diagnosis,
then chances are your child also suffers from trauma. If you have a
child diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder, then I am sure your child
also suffers from trauma and/or an anxiety related disorder! By the
time a parent finds this site, many of the parents have been traumatized and
are suffering from trauma as well.
Many of the children are also diagnosed with ODD, Bipolar, Asperger, autism, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and the list goes on!
Trauma can be emotional or physical. This site
primarily deals with emotional trauma. Trauma is any stressful
event that is prolonged, overwhelming, or unpredictable.
You
will find families that have adopted children, foster children, step
children, and biological children. Many of the children will have
multiple diagnoses.
I hope you enjoy your visit.
"You did not choose Me, but I chose you."
John 15:16
Did you know??
If you remain in high stress situations
for a long time the body forgets what to do when out of the stress.
You must re-teach your body what to do and how to calm. This is an
involuntary function of the nervous system.

Connecting with Others
A crucial part of obtaining help and support is making friends with others
and building your support network.
