Question

Trauma is the response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms an individual’s ability to cope, causes feelings of helplessness, diminishes their sense of self and their ability to feel the full range of emotions and experiences.

Answer 1

Answer:

The statement is TRUE

Explanation:

According to research, trauma can be categorized into two types: "small" trauma and "large" trauma depending on the severity of the situations that led to this response. People who have experienced small traumas haven't been in an extreme risk or fear for their lives, e.g. parents getting a divorce. In contrast, individuals with large traumas have experiences close-to-death or severe situations such as natural disasters, terrorism, sexual assaults, kidnap, violence, amongst others.

Nonetheless, trauma arises from a deeply disturbing event that leads to a wide range of emotions such as fear, anger, sadness and may also cause long-term effects such as insomnia and PTSD. The best way to treat trauma is attending therapy. The therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist will then identify the level of trauma and will define the type of treatment that the individual should receive in order to recover and live a normal healthy life.
