What causes emotional trauma?
Emotional trauma can be devastating to your physical and mental well-being. Some of the different types of trauma-related issues men, women, and children face include:
- Financial stress, such as a foreclosure
- Physical, mental, or sexual abuse
- Chronic or terminal illness
- Automobile accidents
- Death of a loved one
- Natural disasters
- Mass shootings
The emotional trauma you experience after a stressful event can last for several weeks, or it can last for months or years. In any case, trauma isn’t anything you should learn to cope with on your own.
