One response to painful experiences can be to shut down emotionally and to withdraw from other people. When someone expresses feelings to another who listens without judging or persuading, healing moves forward. When people hear others' pain, they may open to their own pain, and healing takes another step. These steps help to restore human connection, which is often broken through violence.

They need to feel secure. They need to feel good about themselves. They need connection to other people, including the ability to trust. They need to have some form of understanding of the world and of their own place in it. Trauma frustrates these needs.
