While Developmental trauma is always autonomic, if we wish to address the underlying autonomic layer, we need to understand not merely the nature of the trauma, but how a person's autonomic nervous system responded.
Developmental trauma also definitionally concerns our relationships with primary caregivers and attachment figures. Skillful treatment typically integrates somatically-oriented trauma therapy with psychotherapeutic components.

You are watching a framework for understanding developmental trauma autonomically. We treat certain kinds of developmental trauma in our autonomics clinic, and can also refer you to autonomically-informed practitioners with specialized expertise. If you’d like access to a library of practices for making this actionable, our Autonomic Compass software is the world’s premier autonomic diagnostics and healing platform.
