Trauma in Childhood
Childhood Trauma is explained as the exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence. The experiences a person has can include direct trauma exposure, witnessing trauma, or learning about a trauma that a close relative or friend endured. For children, childhood traumas that end up creating distress, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) are motor vehicle accidents, bullying, terrorism, exposure to war, and child maltreatment. This can come in the form of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, as well as neglect. Childhood traumas, specifically interpersonal, intentional, and chronic, are associated with a higher likelihood of PTSD, PTSD depression, anxiety, and antisocial behaviors.
