Trauma and traumatic experiences can come from a lot of reasons. A car accident, a victim of an emotional or physical assault are three. Everyone reacts differently to traumas. Some may be on high alert while someone else might fall into a state of shock and numbness.

Traumas reduce concentration and even memories making it difficult to remember what happened. The mind blocks the memory to protect the individual. The memory of the incident may come slowly, picture by picture or all at once. People who undergo traumatic experiences might avoid conversations regarding the incident or react angry or reckless.
