PTSD Causes

We become traumatized when our nervous systems are overwhelmed and the body/mind is unable to process an experience. A combination of factors such as stress, life experiences, personality, neurology and genetics impact how we respond. One person can emerge from an event upset but intact, while another can be shaken to his or her depths.

Single incident traumas include:

  • Accidents

  • Being a crime victim

  • Pregnancy and/or birth trauma

  • Invasive surgeries

  • Natural disasters

Complex or development traumas include:

  • Highly stressed or dysfunctional family

  • Childhood neglect, abandonment or abuse

  • Bullying

  • Substance abuse or violence in the home

  • Complicated grief

  • Racism, sexism, classism, ableism, anti-Semitism, ageism, heterosexism, etc.
