What is trauma? As per the American Psychological Association, Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, rape, or natural disaster. Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical. Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships, and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea. While these are life threatening events, that leave an impact on the mind and psychology of a person, it has also been frequently observed that, emotional neglect and emotional abuse, which are not physical threats to a person’s life but can nonetheless be stress and dysregulate the physical body to the extent of causing many physical symptoms (Selavam Raja).  If unresolved for a long time, the trauma can leave serious psychophysiological symptoms in the body, leading to many medical conditions.
