The term psychological wound can be summarized as a TRAUMA, which is a six letter word. TRAUMA is an emotional response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms an individual's ability to cope. It can result in feelings of helplessness, intense fear, and horror. TRAUMA can also lead to physical symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and difficulty sleeping. In some cases, TRAUMA can even lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
