We are honored and privileged by your visit to our website! Our logo imagery illustrates the evolving life cycles of human development from in-utero and birth, throughout human lifespan development. Girded by our research on Psychological and Physiological Trauma and Attachment. We are mindful of the role that early attachment disruption has on the allostatic load in the establishment of a secure base for optimal health throughout the developmental stages of the human lifecycle.
We are a secure website, designed for both sensitive research and ecommerce, thereby protecting and encrypting private and sensitive research data and information, enabling the presentation of private research. This is extremely important when receiving private essays and narratives, and in collaboration with myriad researchers. You will find a complete listing of everything on this site in the Contents.

Our profile, mission and vision are at the nexus of trauma etiology as manifested during these aforementioned intermittent life cycle stages. We research attachment, separation and loss and the role resiliency has in optimizing lifespan development. Specifically, we are tracking PTSD, dissociation and their co-morbid connections throughout the lifespan, with a keen eye on the role of resiliency, spirituality, self-care, imagination, allostatic load, and the concept of wellness has on the recovery from trauma, PTSD and dissociation. We are mindful of the often hidden aspects of TBI (traumatic brain injury) and will keep updated with ongoing research on this site!
Psychological and Physiological Trauma Research
Traumatic stress is found in many competent, healthy, strong, good people. No one can completely protect themselves from traumatic experiences. Many people have long-lasting problems following exposure to trauma. Up to 8% of persons will have PTSD at some time in their lives. People who react to traumas are not going crazy. What is happening to them is part of a set of common symptoms and problems that are connected with being in a traumatic situation, and thus, is a normal reaction to abnormal events and experiences. Having symptoms after a traumatic event is NOT a sign of personal weakness. Given exposure to a trauma that is bad enough, probably all people would develop PTSD.
By understanding trauma symptoms better, a person can become less fearful of them and better able to manage them. By recognizing the effects of trauma and knowing more about symptoms, a person will be better able to decide about getting treatment.
