**Psychological Trauma** is a response one's mind may have to a heavily stressful event. Trauma can change how one's mind/thoughts function, can affect and alter behaviors, can cause one to form unhealthy behaviors, cause one to develop triggers, and/or cause one to develop a trauma disorder. Those with trauma typically fall under the neurodivergent spectrum, due to their minds functioning in a non-typical way as a result of the events they lived through.

## Forms Of Trauma

### Abuse

**Abuse** is usually a traumatic experience, which falls under multiple categories. Abuse is when an individual one is supposed to be able to trust (family, friends, peers, co-workers, teachers, doctors, etc) mistreat and harm the individual, usually in a repeated manner (with some exceptions). Many affected by abuse face overlaps of these forms (such as emotional and sexual abuse paired together). This could also potentially involve torture. Forms of abuse include:

* **Bullying**: the act of degrading, humiliating, manipulating, shaming/mocking, and/or harming ones peer emotionally and/or physically. There are also sometimes sexual aspects (such as forcefully pulling down one's pants, as to reveal their genitalia to the peers around them). This typically takes place in school, community events, and workspaces. Bullying is often overlooked as a form of abuse; however, it should be taken seriously, as it can cause trauma for the affected individuals.

* **Child Labor**: the act of forcing/manipulating a child into extensive work (such as making a child do extensive gardening to the point of exhaustion). This does not include casual work (such as art, cooking, chores, etc) unless they are overloaded onto the child involved, and cause the child to become physically/mentally drained beyond a natural extent.

* **Cyberbullying** or **Online Harassment**: the act of bullying/harassing an individual through messages, social media, and online spaces. This could be sending death threats, sensitive imagery (pornography, violent images, triggering images), insulting/degrading/humiliating messages, encouraging self-harm and/or suicide, and similar.

* **Emotional Abuse**, **Psychological Abuse**, and/or **Mental Abuse**: the act of degrading, humiliating, manipulating, inflicting fear in, and/or neglecting one's emotions. Some examples of this is being told ones emotions are worthless, being manipulated into feeling a different emotion, having someone inflict or ingrate fear into one's thoughts, having ones emotions ignored/overlooked, and similar.

* **Neglect**: the act of ignoring one's needs, not providing ones needs, and/or holding back ones needs. This includes depriving one of nutrients (food and liquids), physical needs (beds, blankets, clothes, etc), medication/therapy/medical care (for mental or physical health/injuries), emotional/mental needs (support, assistance, education), and anything else along those lines.

* **Physical Abuse**: the act of physically harming ones body through physical violence (punching, kicking, squeezing, weapons, etc) forced consumption of substances (drugs, alcohol, chemicals, etc) and similar. **Spanking** is a common form of physical abuse, and is often overlooked and seen as 'acceptable,' though studies have shown that spanking is a harmful practice (one informative article on this topic can be found here).

* **Sexual Abuse**: the act of sexually harming ones body and/or mind. This includes sexually touching a individual without consent, sexually speaking to a individual without consent, pressuring/manipulating an individual into doing sexual acts with oneself or others, taking sexual photography/recordings of an individual without consent, and similar. Any adult that (knowingly) behaves sexually to a minor/child is participating in sexual abuse, as children cannot consent.

### Assault

**Assault** is usually a traumatic experience, which falls under two categories. Assault is the act of harming an individual (typically one they barely know/barely have interacted with). This could also potentially involve torture. Forms of assault include:

* **Physical Assault**: the act of physically attacking an individual. This could be due to discrimination, dislike, revenge, or a number of other reasons (however having a reason does not justify the damage). **Aggravated Assault** is the term used when a weapon is involved.

* **Sexual Assault**: the act of sexually attacking an individual, with or without a weapon. This includes forceful groping/touching, forceful stripping, and rape (forced sex). The affected individual is not at all fault for these acts, and can be manipulated or threatened into participating in them (while not being truly consenting).

### Betrayal

**Betrayal** (usually from a trusted individual, such as a family member, friend, partner, co-worker, teacher, babysitter/caretaker, law enforcement, etc) is a potentially traumatic experience. This could be emotional/mental betrayal (breaking promises, exposing one's personal information/secrets, etc), financial (stealing one's money/stuff, neglecting to provide financial needs), physical betrayal (betraying one's physical needs, neglecting to provide one's physical needs), medical betrayal (betraying one's medical needs, neglecting to provide one's medical needs), etc. Some forms of betrayal can be classified as neglect if they deprive one of personal needs.

### Criminal Activity

**Criminal Activity** is a potentially traumatic experience. While criminal activity is a broad amount of activities, the ones commonly associated with trauma is abuse, assault, thievery, break-ins, kidnappings, murders, terrorism, (biological) human trafficking, arson, gangs, etc. All of these events can be traumatizing for individuals affected by/targeted by these crimes, individuals who witnessed these crimes, individuals close to Individuals who have been affected by these crimes, individuals who are/were close to a criminal, and/or the criminal themself. Other forms of criminal acts not listed above can also be traumatizing as well.

### Conversion Trauma

**Conversion Trauma** is trauma related to the attempt/act of converting one's thoughts and/or beliefs into something different. Conversion is not always a negative thing; however, it can be riddled/clouded with abuse, harassment, and manipulation if done in a harmful way. The two most common acts of traumatic conversion include:

* **Conversion Therapy**: the act of trying to force an individual to stop being queer (which is mental abuse), and can include acts of violence, manipulation, gaslighting, and similar.

* **Religious** **Conversion**: the act of trying to introduce one to specific religious/spiritual beliefs, which in of itself is not harmful, however, when done in a forceful, harassing, and/or manipulative manner can become a traumatic experience. This include cults, which participate in brainwashing and gaslighting, as well as many forms of abuse.

### Comparison

**Comparison** is a potentially traumatic experience. This could be comparisons of one's behaviors, comparisons of one's physical appearance, comparisons of ones work, etc. This is often found in parents who compare their children to one another, or intimate partners who compare their current partner to their exes; however, it can also be found amongst friends, school, workspaces, and similar.

### Discrimination

**Discrimination** (the act of making unjustified distinction between individuals based on their race/ethnicity, religion/spirituality, gender, sex, attraction, body, identities, and similar) is usually a former of trauma. Discrimination can overlap with almost every other form of trauma, as discrimination is the encouragement/baseline for many aggressive/unfair/unjust behaviors.

### Dishonest Behaviour/Lying

**Dishonest Behavior**/**Lying** is a potentially traumatic experience, as it may cause an individual to doubt the world (and Individuals) around them, and can cause emotional distancing towards their surroundings. **Manipulation** falls under this.

### Displacement, Forced Relocation, Deportation

**Displacement**, **Forced Relocation**, and/or **Deportation** are all potentially traumatic experiences. These are all the act of forcing out a population from the spaces they lived in, and forcing them to move/be transported elsewhere. This can be traumatic, as one may not have anywhere else to go, may have to leave all friends/family behind, and similar. Deportation is associated with racial/ethnic discrimination, as well as other types of discrimination, in which one pushes out those of minorities or unaccepted societal groups out of their living spaces.

### Exotrauma

**Exotrauma** is a form of trauma experienced by some non-human headmates, introjects, walk-in headmates, headmates with experiences before joining the system, and alterhumans. Exotrauma is trauma that stems from experiences one had in a different life/state of being (or, in a simpler manner, experiences had not to the current physical body). For example, an elfkin individual may have exotrauma regarding war if they experienced a war in a previous life. Exotrauma can be any form of trauma their kintype, source, previous life, previous state experienced.

### Exploitation

**Exploitation** is a potentially traumatic experience. It is the act of treating someone unfairly for self gain (for example, copying someone's work and claiming it to be ones own work). This can overlap with betrayal, manipulation, abuse, and/or harassment, depending on how one exploits an individual.

### Exposure

**Exposure** is usually a traumatic experience. It is the act of exposing a child or otherwise innocent/unexpecting individual to concepts that are not appropriate for their mind/age, which are typically unable to be properly processed, thus forming traumatic responses. This includes exposure to sexual activity/sexual content, violence/death/abuse/suicide/self harm, crime, drug use and alcohol, mental/physical distress, and similar adult-themed topics. This could also happen through media (movies, books, games, etc) in which an individual stumbles upon unwanted heavy topics (pornography, violent imagery, etc).

### Getting Lost

**Getting Lost** is a potentially traumatic experience, as the act of losing one's way home/to their loved one can be a terrifying and vulnerable experience, especially when one gets lost for a long period of time and/or lost in a remote location.

### Harrassment

**Harassment** is usually a traumatic experience, which falls under multiple categories. Harassment is the act of (aggressively or uncomfortably) pressuring and/or intimidating an individual, usually in an unjustified manner. Many affected by harassment face overlaps of these forms (such as police harassment and racial harassment paired together). Forms of harassment include:

* **Landlord Harassment**: when a landlord or their agents make purposefully uncomfortable conditions for their tenants. This can cause stress, feelings of discomfort, feeling unsafe in ones home, can cause financial issues, and can force an individual to move out (even if one has no other place to go). This could be enforced due to discriminatory reasons (such as the landlord being racist/queerphobic/sexist/etc) out of spite, and/or in order to receive more money.

* **Physical Harassment**: when an individual touches someone non-consensually, and continues to do so after being told not to. This is usually not sexual in nature, nor is it physically harmful; however, it is psychological harmful as they are breaking the individuals boundaries.

* **Police Misconduct/Harassment**: when a police officer harasses individuals by misusing their power as law enforcement. This could be coercing/manipulating one into 'confessing' a crime they didn't commit, purposefully arresting individuals who did not commit crime, tampering with evidence/creating false testimonies, unwarranted and invasive surveillance/searches/seizure of property, brutality/violence (usually in a discriminatory manner to BIPOC Individuals/queer Individuals/minorities/etc), and/or misusing their role for purposeful gain.

* **Power Harassment**: when a worker bullies/harasses an individual of a lower position within their workspace. This includes sexual harassment, physical harassment, being shamed/yelled at in front of peers, false/unfair demotion and evaluation, and neglect (such as disallowing necessary work-breaks).

* **Recorded Harassment**: when an individual records/takes photos of an individual without their consent, possible sharing said imagery/recordings around the internet/to other Individuals.

* **Racial Harassment**: any form of harassment that is specifically based on racism (such as a white individual performing power harassment on a non-white Hispanic worker).

* **Religious Harassment**: any form of harassment that is specifically based on ones religious/spirituality, or lack thereof (such as a Muslim facing landlord harassment due to their beliefs). This can also include forceful attempts/acts of religious conversion.

* **Sexual Harassment**: when one makes unwanted sexual advances, exposes one to unwanted sexual materiel (such as showing off one's genitalia), makes unwanted sexual comments, and/or asks unwanted sexual questions, typically continuously (even after told to stop).

* **Stalking**: when one observes/follows an individual without their consent (and often times without their knowledge). This could take place online or offline.

* **Verbal Harassment**/**Assault**: when one insults, degrades, or otherwise uses words in order to cause distress to an individual.

* **Workplace Harassment**: any form of harassment that is specifically targeted towards ones co-workers. Power harassment falls under this umbrella. This also includes overbearing supervision, constant-unneeded criticism, and blocking promotion.

### Homelessness/Poverty

**Homelessness**/**Poverty** (the lack of a home/the lack of materiel possessions/money) is usually a traumatic experience. This is due to the hardships, harassment, lack of safety, sickness/illness, and lack of nutrients that is faced when one does not have enough to care for themselves and/or the family around them and/or does not have a shelter.

### Isolation

**Isolation** is a potentially traumatic experience, as physical and emotional company is a necessity for most living beings, especially individuals. This isolation could be from abuse/harassment/assault (ie: being purposefully trapped in a closet, empty room, cage, etc), from trusted individuals (ie: accidentally being locked in a car, being isolated in a hospital because it will assist physical recoveries, etc), from oneself (ie: self-isolating due to self hatred, mental illness, stress, etc), from necessity (ie: quarantine, long-lasting storms, etc), and/or other reasons (such as being arrested and kept in an isolated cell).

### Lack of Representation

**Lack of Representation** is a potentially traumatic experience, as one may grow up feeling isolated/alone within social spaces. This can apply to queer Individuals, BIPOC, disabled Individuals, neurodivergent Individuals, and/or other minorities. Similarly, **Lack of Support** in one's accomplishments and identity can be potentially traumatic, as well as **Lack of Encouragement**.

### Loss

**Loss** is a potentially traumatic experience, as losing a family member, partner, friend, acquaintance, patient, or co-worker can bring grief, sorrow, depression, and (depending on the form of death they had) the brutality of the death can cause more distress (even if they did not witness the death themself). Similarly, the loss of objects, food, sources of comfort, etc can fall under this umbrella.

### Natural Disasters

**Natural Disasters** and/or **Natural Events** (tornados, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, storms, animal attacks, etc) is a potentially traumatic experience, as they could cause immense distress, destruction of property and/or physical harm (to oneself or a loved one), or cause immense changes (such as breaking apart ones town).

### Medical Trauma

**Medical Trauma** is a form of trauma relating to medical settings (hospitals, doctors, therapists, etc). Forms of medical trauma include:

* **Forced Medical Treatment**: being forced into medical care can be a traumatic experience. Even when an individual needs said care, the act of being (physically, mentally, and/or emotionally) forced into it can be traumatizing.

* **Hospitalization**: being taken to a hospital can be a traumatic experience, no matter what the age, especially when it is in regards to one's health and/or a loved ones health. This can be especially traumatic for children, who cannot fully understand the extent of the treatment/injuries/illness they or one of their loved ones are experiencing.

* **Medical Abuse/Harassment**: being abused/harassed by medical professionals (such as therapists and nurses). This could be done in a manipulative manner, in which they convince the patient that they are trying to help while in reality, they are harming the individual.

* **Unneeded Medical Care**: being given unneeded treatment (either purposefully or accidentally) can be a traumatic experience, as it puts one through intense/uncomfortable situations, and pushes one into using medication/treatment that may cause distress.

* **Unreliable/Incorrect Diagnosis/Medication**: being misdiagnosed and improperly medicated can worsen ones mental/physical state, and can be potentially traumatic to experience.

* **Unreliable Therapy**/**Therapists**/**Psychologists**: being given an unreliable treatment (that may worsen ones issues), and/or having a therapist/psychologist that does not follow the confidentiality rules can be a traumatic experience, especially due to the fact that therapists/psychologists are supposed to be reliable, and the betrayal of this (intentional or not) can further push one into dismay.

### Moving

**Moving** is a potentially traumatic experience, as it usually involves tearing an individual from their familiar spaces/company, and beginning in an unknown. This can involve moving homes, moving schools, etc. This can be extremely distressing, as the loss of ones familiar setting can make one feel isolated.

### Physically Threatening Events

**Physically-Threatening Events** (such as choking, almost-drowning, house-fires, vehicle accidents, breaking bones, etc) is a potentially traumatic experience, due to the stress of injury, the loss of personal desires/wants (such as the loss of one's house), and/or the guilt of harming another individual (such as hitting someone in a car accident).

### Pressuring/Forceful Behaviors

**Pressuring**/**Forceful** **Behaviors** (such as forcing someone to eat more than they are hungry for, sleep more than they are able to, participate in events that they don't want to, etc) is a potentially traumatic experience, as those who do this ignore the other individuals boundaries (physical and mental). **Peer Pressuring** is included under this.

### Prisons/Jail

**Prisons**/**Jail** can be (and usually is) traumatic, due to the unjust ways it is usually set up, and the guards torturous behaviors towards inmates/other inmates torturous behavior towards one another. It is also a form of isolation, a large change, and it often consists of being deprived of personal belongings, overworked, and being harassed/assaulted/abused. **Leaving Prison/Jail** can be equally traumatic (especially if one has not been outside in years) and can be hard or impossible to readjust to.

### Relationship Issues

**Relationship Issues** is a potentially traumatic experience. This could be any form of relationship; however, it typically is used in the context of a romantic relationship. This could be arguments, divorce, having a partner with trauma, and/or being the witness to this (such as being a child watching parents fight/get divorced, or being in a polyamorous relationship where two or more partners are having issues). This can also include cheating, lying, infidelity, and in some cases, pregnancy. In context of non-romantic relationships, this could be issues between family members, friends, and/or coworkers. Non-romantic relationship issues are often seen in foster parents with their foster kids.

### Religious Trauma

**Religious Trauma** is trauma based upon religion, typically forming from abusive/manipulative churches/spiritual spaces, abusive/manipulative religious relatives/friends, and cults. This often affects the queer community, as many churches of many different religions are very unaccepting and abusive of queer identities, and can cause immense traumatic experiences. Cults almost *always* result in religious trauma, and it is very rare for a cult to *not* be traumatic.

### Secondary Trauma

**Secondary Trauma** is trauma based on witnessing, hearing, or being described another individuals traumatic events. For example, witnessing a brother being abused, hearing an individual be assaulted over a phone call, being described the details of a friend's sexual assault, etc. This is often due to the connection ones mind makes from the individual to themself (ie: "what if that were me?"), the guilt that forms for not being able to help, and/or the frightful/stressful sights/noises one is exposed.

### Self Harm/Suicide

**Self Harm** (and **Suicide**) is usually a traumatic experience. This could be one's own self-harm, witnessed or heard of self-harm, and/or both. Self-harm can be (and usually is) a stressful, violent, terrifying, and distressing event, and can be hard to stop (in oneself and others) which may cause intense fear/distress, as one may be unsure if the harm will ever end, making it all the more traumatic.

### Some Symptoms of Neurodivergence

**Some** **Symptoms of Neurodivergence** can be traumatic. For example, disturbing hallucinations and delusions from psychosis can cause immense trauma, especially if one believes the events/beings witnessed/felt are real. This applies to many symptoms of neurodivergence; however, it does not apply to *all* symptoms, and not everyone with specific symptoms will end up traumatized from them.

### Some Symptoms of Physical Disabilities

**Some Symptoms of Physical Disabilities** can be traumatic. For example, disabilities that cause pain or exhaustion may be traumatic in nature, as physical strain on one's body can be emotionally/mentally distressing, and experiencing these symptoms on a regular or semi-regular basis can be mentally taxing.

### Specific Lines of Work

**Specific Lines of Work** can be traumatic, especially if they are based around protection, rescue services, law-enforcement, and/or medical care. Protective work can be traumatic as one may have to protect individuals from stressful and/or violent events, rescue services can be traumatic due to rescuing individuals from violent/disastrous events, law enforcement can be traumatic due to witnessing crime/disaster, and medical care can be traumatic due to witnessing/being involved with gore, death, sickness, and otherwise heavy subjects. These jobs can also be traumatic if one fails to protect/save someone and/or is forced to harm someone, and is left with immense guilt.

### Stress

**Stress** can be a potentially traumatic experience, especially when in high levels. This is due to the mental and emotional difficulties stress has, and having this pressure on ones mind consistently and/or strongly can cause a mental/emotional break (or shattering) of the mind's health.

### Unexpected/Unprepared Changes

**Unexpected**/**Unprepared** **Changes** can be potentially traumatic experiences, (such as unexpected pregnancy or work demotion) due to it being shocking, sporadic, and/or unprepared for. This can cause immense stress and pressure, and can cause an individual to feel intense anxiety/fear/depression/etc. to the point of leaving a mental scarring.

### Unexplained/Unnatural Phenomena

**Unexplained Phenomena** or **Unnatural Phenomena** can be potentially traumatic experiences. This includes unexplained behavior from loved ones (or even strangers in some cases), paranormal activity, spiritual activity, unexplained/unnatural thoughts/images/dreams, etc. This could be due to the mystery of it, the stress of trying to comprehend it and/or make sense of it, and/or the dangerous situations it may put one in.

### War

**War** is usually a traumatic event, due to the involved violence, death, loss/destruction (of individuals, objects, or familiar locations), torture, and/or weapon use. This can affect those fighting/involved, those in the sidelines, the families of the involved, civilians who get attacked/damaged by the battles, etc.

### Wrongful Blames/Accusations

**Wrongful Blames**/**Wrongful Accusations** can be a potentially traumatic event, as one may suffer someone else's punishments and/or be shamed for something that was not of their doing. This includes **Victim Blaming** (the act of blaming a trauma survivor for their trauma—for example, saying that wearing short clothes was 'asking for it' in terms of sexual assault). This is because the individual may feel betrayed for being assumed to have done something, guilty for something they didn't do, and/or may be shunned and ridiculed by the individual, or feel like the individual accusing them sees them as less-than.

## Trauma Triggers

### Definition

There are many types of triggers (see ND Terminology page for more information), however **trauma triggers** form due to a traumatic event. A trauma trigger causes a trauma response, as this trigger is (in some way) related to/correlated with the individuals trauma. Trauma triggers typically cause one to experience flashbacks of the traumatic experience.

### Trigger Warnings/Content Warnings

**Trigger Warnings** (**TWs**) are used in text/posts in order to avoid triggering an individual. Common trigger warnings are related to common traumatic experiences (such as abuse, assault, blood, etc); however, some trigger warnings are more specific (such as brother, food, etc). Some things should not be given a trigger warning (such as an individual's race/ethnicity, endogenic systems, alterhumans, etc), as it becomes exclusionary (and can come off as hateful/oppressive in nature). If one has a trigger towards a marginalized group, the individual should work on their trigger, rather than making marginalized individuals feel negatively for being who they are. The individual with the trigger should *not* be blamed for their trigger; however, they should be held responsible for seeking help/change, and should not be encouraged to use such TWs focused on marginalized groups.

**Content Warnings** (**CWs**) are used in text/posts in order to avoid sensitive content (that is potentially triggering, but is usually not a trigger). Common content warnings are negative experiences (needles, yelling, etc). CWs can be triggering and TWs can be upsetting, so often times the two overlap. For example, someone may be triggered by needles and be uncomfortable with abuse and vice versa.

## Trauma Disorders

**Trauma disorders** are mental conditions that develop as a result of trauma. They may develop for many reasons, such as coping with trauma or simply being a distressing reaction to a traumatic experience.

* **Dissociative Disorders** such as DID, OSDD, USDD/UDD, dissociative amnesia, and derealization/depersonalization disorders often develop as a way of coping with trauma, for example: forming a system to work through and cope with trauma, separating someone from themself& and/or their surroundings, and causing memory loss. It is important to note that while these disorders are often associated with trauma, trauma does not have to be present for these disorders to exist. While many systems have DID, OSDD, or USDD/UDD, not all systems are disordered. While dissociative disorders have their own chapter in the DSM-5, many experts agree that these disorders often develop as a result of trauma.

* **Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder** or PTSD is a common trauma disorder to develop after a traumatic event. It is associated with having flashbacks, disturbing intrusive thoughts and feelings, and trauma triggers associated with (a) traumatic experience(s), as well as changed in behaviour and mood. These symptoms will often last long after the trauma, and those suffering from PTSD will often avoid things that remind them of their trauma. This disorder often coexists with other trauma disorders.
	+ **Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder** or C-PTSD is a variation of PTSD caused by trauma that occurred over a long period of time, such as abuse, bullying, etc. It is very similar to PTSD, however there are some different symptoms: difficuly controlling emotions, feelings of emptiness or hopelessness, feeling permanently damaged, avoiding relationships, etc. Like with PTSD, those who suffer from C-PTSD may also experience flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, triggers, avoidance of things associated with trauma, and changed behaviour and mood. These symptoms will also last long after the trauma.
	+ **Post-Traumatic Stress Response/Post-Traumatic Stress Reaction** or PTSR, also known as **Acute Stress Disorder** or ASD, is an initial reaction to a traumatic event, however it doesn't last long after the trauma and is only an initial reaction. Those who get PTSR may experience flashbacks, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, etc., however these usually only occur directly after the trauma and do not last long - they typically last from a few days to a month. Those who experience PTSR usually do not develop PTSD.
* **Reactive Attachment Disorder** or RAD usually develops as a result of childhood neglect and/or other trauma, and the inability to establish a healthy bond between a child and their parent or caregiver. Those with RAD have difficulty establishing relationships and are often withdrawn, afraid, an overall unengaged with others.
