Many events can be experienced as traumatic: being a victim of violence or abuse, having or causing a fatal accident, witnessing serious injury or death. More 'ordinary' life events can also be experienced as profoundly traumatic--e.g., redundancy, loss of status, workplace bullying, collapse of a needed relationship.
Symptoms may include ‘flash backs’, intrusive thoughts or memories, sleep disturbance, nightmares, irritability, and mood swings. Many of those who have suffered trauma cope by avoiding stressful situations or by over-using drugs and alcohol.
