Understanding Trauma: Defining and Categorizing Traumatic Experiences
Trauma is defined as the emotional, psychological, and physiological response to distressing or disturbing events. It has a profound impact on a person's well-being and can lead to long-lasting consequences. Trauma can be categorized as acute trauma (single event trauma), complex or chronic trauma (repetitive exposure to traumatic situations), developmental trauma (trauma experienced in critical periods of development), and secondary trauma (vicarious trauma from indirect exposure). It's important to acknowledge that all forms of trauma are significant, even if they don't fit traditional definitions of a single traumatic event.
