"OUR CULTURE VIEWS ANGER, AGGRESSION, AND VIOLENCE AS CRIMINAL BEHAVIORS. I VIEW IT AS MENTAL HEALTH BEHAVIOR ARISING FROM TRAUMA.""A TRAUMA BRAIN IS HYPER-VIGILANT, REACTIVE, AND PARANOID, IN THE SENSE THAT IT IS ALWAYS ON GUARD, THEREFORE, THE TRAUMA BRAIN IS MUCH FASTER TO REACT AND PROTECT THAN SOMEONE WHO IS NOT IN TRAUMA OR HAS NOT HAD SUBSTANTIAL TRAUMA." -Aron Steward, PhD
