A trauma is "any negative life event occurring in a state of relative helplessness - a car accident, the sudden death of a loved one, a frightening medical procedure, a significant experience of rejection- can produce the neurophysiological changes in the brain as do combat, rape, or abuse. What makes a negative life event traumatizing isn't the life-threatening nature if the event, but rather the degree of helplessness it engenders and one's history of prior trauma," Dr. Robert Scaer, neurologist and traumatologist.
