Psychological Trauma and its Causes

A psychological trauma can be caused by a wide variety of events and situations. The most common types involve the experience of life-threatening events, such as a car accident or a natural disaster. However, a traumatic event can also be caused by a situation where an individual feels completely alone or overwhelmed. The degree of a traumatic event is determined by the subjective emotional experience associated with it. The more terrifying the event is, the more likely it is to cause a psychological trauma. PTSD is a form of psychological trauma. It occurs when a person witnesses a violent event and the stressors make them emotionally or physically ill. The definition of this condition was initially quite broad, excluding serious illness or child sexual abuse. The term "psychological trauma" also encompasses work environments that are a frequent source of stress for police officers and firefighters. It is important to remember that the term 'traumatic' may have different meaning for different individuals. Psychological trauma can also be caused by exposure to images of the traumatic event. The body reacts by releasing endorphins. In some cases, exposure to traumatic images can trigger a response in the body that causes the victim to experience PTSD. In such cases, a person can make changes to improve their lives and move on with their lives. Once they've discovered the cause of their traumatic events, they can begin a healing process.


Regardless of the cause, the traumatic event that caused the trauma can lead to the development of various psychological problems. These events can range from verbal abuse to physical assault. Sometimes, people may experience a traumatic event because of war or an explosion. Even a crime can trigger a traumatic experience. Recent hurricanes and mass shootings in Las Vegas have shown that a traumatic event can affect someone's life in various ways.
