Categories of Trauma

Trauma has many causes, including events such as child abuse and neglect, war, combat, natural disasters, or medical trauma. The impact of traumatic events is unique to each person. The impact of trauma depends on our temperament, our resilience factors, and any past trauma; all these things play together on the impact the trauma has.

Trauma usually affects three main groups: the person who experienced the event, the person who witnessed the event, and the associated situation. Sometimes it is the person who is the perpetrator of the event, and for example, sometimes when we can work with someone who has symptoms that lead to behavior in which they later feel remorse or flashback.

There are several official definitions of trauma and trauma information services, but as we know, sometimes the best descriptions come from people with life experiences. This is one-way trauma information services have been explained to me. Trauma comes from any occasion, or we experience too much pain, both physical and emotional, when we are too scared, too worried, too scared, or too embarrassed. Intense emotions and experiences related to trauma leave a lasting impression on our minds and bodies, changing how our brains and hearts grow and function. So emotional wounds are now physical as essential body parts are affected. The trauma symptoms are entirely natural in how our mind and body cry out for help. Trauma can sometimes cause people to make insecure decisions, but these uncertain decisions are made as an attempt to help them manage themselves or to feel better.

When people understand that trauma symptoms are entirely natural and even expected, they can begin to forgive themselves, understanding that they are not wrong. They are not crazy; they are just hurt, and they are affected by their experiences in the world around them.
