Trauma can manifest in 3 ways:
Acute trauma
This is caused by distressing events such as natural disasters, accidents or physical abuse. These events create trauma that can affect the way a person thinks and feels, causing excessive anxiety and panic.
Chronic trauma
Otherwise known as PTSD, this type of trauma is a result of a person being exposed to either multiple traumatic events or prolonged trauma. People who undergo them will need the help of qualified therapists to recover from the symptoms they suffer over time.
Complex trauma
This happens when a person is exposed to multiple interpersonal traumatic experiences. Seeking psychotherapy is highly advised as it impacts one’s mind severely and affects one’s ability to lead life normally.
