A person cannot always separate himself and the situation that led to the trauma. He seems to merge and cannot distance himself from her, look as if from the side.
Perhaps knowing the situations in which the risk of injury occurs most often, there will be more opportunities to resist it.
In this article, I would like to briefly describe the most common types of psychological trauma that a person can face in their life.
1. Shock trauma
As a result of sudden events that threaten the life of a person or people close to him. This includes the sudden loss of a significant person (friend, children, parents), which was completely unexpected.
2. Acute trauma
Short-term impacts - arises from previous negative events. These include, as an example, a difficult conflict, a break in a long-term relationship, social humiliation, and much more.
3. Chronic trauma
Long-term stay in an emotionally unfavorable situation. An example can be a child living in a dysfunctional family, a long difficult life situation, living in a marriage that brings moral and physical violence and humiliation.
The destructive power of mental trauma depends on the individual significance of the traumatic event for a person, on the degree of his psychological resistance to stress and adverse events, on the ability to cope with life's problems and the availability of support in his environment and timely help.
Now let's look at what might be the sources of these injuries.
