Trauma is defined by From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Psychological trauma is a type of damage to the psyche that occurs as a result of a traumatic event. When that trauma leads to posttraumatic stress disorder, damage may involve physical changes inside the brain and to brain chemistry, which damage the person's ability to adequately cope with stress.
A traumatic event involves a single experience, or an enduring or repeating event or events, that completely overwhelm the individual's ability to cope or integrate the ideas and emotions involved with that experience. The sense of being overwhelmed can be delayed by weeks, years, even decades, as the person struggles to cope with the immediate circumstances.
Being the victim of a sexual crime can be one of the most difficult emotional mountains to climb for the individual and the family. Hope abounds despite the gravity of victimization and the intensity of feeling powerless. Victims often deal with traumatic flashbacks, self blame, intense anxiety and fear of the unknown, with treatment the individual can begin to heal and move towards understanding, safety and ultimately empowerment.
