What Is Psychological Trauma?
Psychological trauma is from an event such as a violent attack, accident, or injury. It can also be from ongoing stress such as battling life-threatening illnesses, bullying, or domestic violence. It can also be from surgery or the death of a loved one.
No two individuals’ trauma will ever be the same. They will always interpret and experience their traumatic events differently.
The way they respond to emotionally traumatic events will depend on their background, developmental history, identity, current state of mental well-being, and how they consciously and unconsciously interpret information.
Emotional trauma can often be very devastating to a person’s psychological health. It can cause harm to an individual’s sense of self. Trauma has the power to disrupt a person’s daily life and force them down a spiral of fear.
