Trauma stems from long exposure to numerous traumatic events, sometimes during childhood – complex trauma. You can divide trauma into acute trauma that results from just one event, chronic traumatic experience- repeated over time or complex traumatic experience that lasts after multiple events over the years more so in the formative years of a child.
Frequent symptoms consist of intrusive memories, flashbacks, nightmares, avoiding reminders of the traumatizing event, heightened arousal (such as hypervigilance or irritability), and negative alterations in mood or perception about oneself or the world.
