Trauma:

“Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event … Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical. Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea.” (American Psychological Association) Complex trauma can result from events that are “severe and pervasive, such as abuse or profound neglect. They usually occur early in life and can disrupt many aspects of the child’s development and the formation of a sense of self.” (The National Child Traumatic Stress Network).
