Trauma is a common occurrence. One in five Americans have experienced molestation; one in four people grew up around alcoholics; and one in three couples have physically abused one another. Veterans and their families also suffer with the devastating effects of combat. These encounters invariably leave their mark on our minds, emotions, and even biology. Tragically, trauma survivors frequently let their partners and kids feel their stress.
