What is trauma?
Psychological trauma is defined as an event or series of events of extreme intensity, which surpasses an individual's adaptive capacities and breaches their physical and/or psychological integrity
Ψυχολογικό τραύμα ορίζεται ένα μεμονωμένο γεγονός ή μια σειρά από γεγονότα ακραίας έντασης, τα οποία ξεπερνούν τις προσαρμοστικές ικανότητες του ατόμου και παραβιάζουν την σωματική και ψυχολογική ακεραιότητά τους.
Subjectivity of Traumatic Experience
The traumatic characteristics of an event depend not only on its objective characteristics but also on how it is subjectively experienced by the individual, depending on their history, resources and personal vulnerabilities.
