There are 3 main categories that a trauma might fall into:

1. Acute trauma results from a single incident.
2. Chronic trauma is repeated and prolonged such as domestic violence or abuse.
3. Complex trauma is exposure to varied and multiple traumatic events, often of an invasive, interpersonal nature.

It is important to remember that any type of trauma can occur to humans or animals.

Acute Trauma

Acute Trauma normally results from a single incident such as death, robbery/mugging, an accident, natural disaster, a specific sexual assault, car accident, serious injury (dog bite), surgery trauma, witnessing violent event, or experiencing something that threatens a persons emotional or physical safety. It can even be a portrayed thought about an event in the future.

Experiencing Acute Trauma can leave one with feeling of intense fear, horror, or helplessness. This can be considered a form of PTSD, and is referred to as Acute Stress Disorder (ASD).

A person who has experienced acute trauma may display other signs + symptoms after the event such as:

• Panic or extreme anxiety
• Depression
• Confusion or irritation
• Dissociation/feeling disconnected from self + surroundings
• Interrupted sleep patterns
• Suspicious behavior
• Lack of self-care
• Loss of focus/production at work or school

Chronic Trauma

Chronic Trauma normally results from repeated incidence of trauma, whether physical or emotional such as domestic violence, sexual trauma, , bullying, serious illness (ex: cancer or other long lasting disease), etc.

PTSD is normally present and manifests symptoms in behavior & thought patterns which can be long term if not addressed.

As with Acute trauma, the resulting symptoms can be the same and additional symptoms may occur.

Complex Trauma

Complex trauma can be present with some similar issues as Chronic Trauma and can result from scenarios such as war trauma (refugee/terrorism, soldiers continually being deployed to war zones ), domestic violence including severe physical + emotional abuse such as sexual assault, physical abuse and verbal abuse.

One source describes Complex Trauma as repetitive, prolonged and cumulative and in many cases involving an interpersonal relationship involving direct harm, exploitation, and maltreatment including neglect, abandonment, or antipathy. Complex Trauma can occur at any age from childhood to senior. In many cases it can occur for a person who is disempowered such as child, a person with dependence issues, someone with a disability or a specific age.

As with Acute trauma, the resulting symptoms can be the same and additional symptoms may occur.

In most cases Complex Trauma results in PTSD symptoms and repeated abusive situations. In my experience, identifying and releasing root cause issues can be very beneficial in complete healing and avoiding future abusive scenarios.

Any kind of trauma can have long term effects (PTSD) and each individual is different in the way they react. Sometimes a trauma is hidden in order to protect a person and there is no “conscious” memory. Sometimes the memory can become conscious later in life with a specific trigger and in some cases never consciously remembered. In any case, it does not make the trauma less severe or have less impact on a person/animals life. If you have experienced a severe trauma and are experiencing severe side effects such as contemplating suicide, I encourage you to seek medical assistance immediately.

My personal experience with childhood sexual trauma compounded by severe second hand PTSD reveals this profoundly. It can affect your life without consciously recognizing why you react the way you do to certain stimuli or triggers. You may have an uneasy “feeling” about something or someone and you just don’t know why. You might witness something on TV and you have a severe reaction to it compared to others. You might even just have a feeling that something “happened” to you but you can’t quite put your finger on it. This was my experience. Until I consciously had a flashback and was able to put all the pieces together and finally begin self healing the specifics of the events.

The amazing benefit of the method of Comprehensive Energy Healing I personally use in my life and in coaching others, is that you don’t have to repeatedly “relive” the trauma in order to release it for self healing.

I have worked with other women who were too embarrassed or upset to talk about the sexual trauma they experienced, and the self healing relief was amazing.

In my own experience, certain Chronic/Complex traumas can result in many lasting side effects in addition to the ones described above. There can also be serious self worth issues, self abusive behavior, self loathing, self hatred, severe depression, OCD behavior, addiction (alcohol, drugs, sex, food, etc.), nervous tics, severe need to be in control at all times, lack of financial income, not taking care of self, denial, fear of leaving the house & fear of large crowds, need to be in a a small safe place or room, unexplained and excessive anger & rage patterns, fear of loud noise or sudden movement, fear of facing away from doors (must sit against the wall in order to have full view of surroundings), fear of being approached from behind, severe reaction to certain situations that can’t be justified or explained (others react much less harshly) and more, being jumpy or erratic and so much more.

Experiencing trauma can be a very serious issue and should not be treated lightly. If you or someone you know has experienced ANY kind of trauma, especially something that is life altering, I encourage you to seek help.
