Note, please read this page, before proceeding. It gives a story / example that is used in these definitions.

Trauma - Trauma occurs when there are more events happening, more lions eating deer, then the brain can process, in such a way as to distinguish whether it is in danger or not.

Trigger - A trigger is a stimulus that tells us we are unsafe in some way. This can be from any or all of our senses. It can be the way someone looks, talks, dresses. It can be a sound, a smell, an object. This, in essence, can be the rabbit or the lion. The trick is to figure out which we are really seeing - true danger, or just something that looks like danger.

Wound - Basically, we can think of a wound as a place in us, where we are separated from our source. Wounds can take many forms. I would call even the belief that we are bad or wrong, that our nature is sinful ... I would call that a wound. And the other main form of woundedness in this context is our inability to be fully present, because when we are all we see is rabbits and lions. It may be difficult to think of oneself as wounded. Just remember, even Superman has his kryptonite.
