Psychological injuries are called trauma, and they may happen in different ways. There is no general rule as to how they come about. Some people break a leg just by missing a step, while others have a fall over several metres and come out unscathed. The cause of an injury does not necessarily say anything about its severity.
The same applies to psychological injuries. This is why we want everyone to feel addressed, no matter what they have gone through. Trauma is a normal response of normal people to abnormal situations and may affect everyone.
This booklet aims to explain the foundations of how such injuries may manifest themselves and what you can do about it. It is strictly about the basics. Naturally, we are unable to cover all conceivable cases; there are always exceptions and peculiarities, and there is always more to learn about a topic.
