Most Times The pain Isn't Physical

Trauma is an emotional response to current and ongoing, and/or a prior terrible event. 

Trauma can occur once, or on multiple occasions. An individual can experience more than one type of trauma. Emotional and psychological trauma results from an extremely stressful event that causes emotional or psychological disability in daily functioning. This may include events such being physically assaulted, witnessing a physical assault, emotional or verbal abuse, a life-threatening medical condition, or experiencing an act of terror, torture, murder, or a natural disaster.
