https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/mapping-massacres  Once again, the Australia Day debate rumbles as people discuss which date we should be celebrating this day. Australia was inhabited by it's First Peoples long before European "Discovery" by  William Jansz  who landed in Cape York in 1606 or Captain Cook who dropped anchor in Botany Bay in 1770 and claimed it be Terra Nullius  (Nobody's Land). Since the European invasion, perpetual massacres of Australian Aboriginal men, women and children ensued. Today,  Aboriginal life expectancy is more than 10 years below that of the average non-Aboriginal Australian. Much of this is due to generational oppression and intergenerational trauma, lack of education, diabetes because of western diet and other life style factors which have been introduced into Aboriginal lifestyles in as little as the last three  generations.

Experiencing trauma can affect our tolerance for internal and external life stress and other stimuli. We may experience triggering memories switched on at seemingly random times by smells, sights, sounds, touch, spacial awareness, which transport our consciousness away from the present day, and into a time and place, when we were overwhelmed and affected by an original trauma. When we are triggered, our bodies react, as if we were experiencing our past, in the present moment. Our window of Tolerance can greatly influence how we may react to the stimuli when triggered. When we are within a regulated state of tolerance, our heart rate is steady, our breathing calm and we may feel a sense of personal safety. As indicated by the NICABM chart, we can see that trauma minimizes the size of the Tolerance Window. We may feel an intense  experience of being out of our comfort zone or being un-ground or off center. Sometimes we may try so desperately to scramble back to our window of tolerance
