8 What is it like for a traumatized child?! I found it difficult to hear Mrs. Patterson when she spoke in the classroom. I felt as if she were speaking from beneath tumbling water, or from the end of long tunnel. She assumed I was daydreaming From Too Scared To Learn, J. Horsman o I could see the math teacher s mouth moving but couldn t hear a thing. It was as if I were in a soundless chamber I just couldn t process a word of it. Task Force on Children Affected by Domestic Violence Cited in Helping Traumatized Children Learn, Massachusetts Advocates for Children 2005
