This creates tension in anticipation of the next disruption, which is perhaps unexpected in its particulars but now expectable and hence recognizable as ordinary, as it is also recognizable through the knowledge that stumbling into and navigating distress, pain, and shock is normal in living, even if all trauma is not the same in terms of damage or of negotiation by the traumatized"--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Sinor, Jennifer, $d 1969- 600 10 $a Sinor, Jennifer, $d 1969- $x Family. 650 0 $a Psychic trauma in children. 650 0 $a Children of military personnel $x Psychology. 650 0 $a Psychologically abused children $z United States $v Biography. 600 17 $a Sinor, Jennifer, $d 1969- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00476194 650 7 $a Children of military personnel $x Psychology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00855432 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Psychic trauma in children. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01081227 650 7 $a Psychologically abused children. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01081408 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019021552.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=98CF18E8E96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
