What is Trauma?

Although trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are frequently used interchangeably, they are different.

According to the American Psychological Association, trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event. It is time-based, can be experience more than once by an individual, and there are multiple types of trauma:

  • Physical or psychological
  • A one-time event
  • Historical - this type of trauma is often associated with racial and ethnic population groups in the United States who have suffered major intergenerational losses and assaults on their culture and well-being
  • Traumatic grief/separation/forced displacement
  • Natural disasters
  • Witnessing any of the above traumatic events

Responses to trauma can be expressed through emotions and/or behavior, and can impede an individual's ability to function.
