Abstract

Trauma is a term used to describe an emotional or psychological reaction to a profoundly upsetting or upsetting incident or experience. It is an occurrence that has a lasting effect on a person’s mental and emotional health because it exceeds their capacity to cope with or integrate the emotions involved. Traumatic incidents can entail real or threatened death, significant injury, or sexual assault, and they frequently cause the person experiencing them to feel terrified, helpless, or horrified. Natural catastrophes, accidents, physical or sexual assault, exposure to combat, childhood maltreatment, or witnessing violence are just a few of the situations that can lead to trauma.
