Trauma comes in many shapes and forms, but some common scenarios are generally considered traumatic. Types of traumatic events that a person may experience at some point in life include:

• Abuse
• Assault
• Car Accident
• Death of a loved one
• Divorce
• Family or parental abandonment
• Imprisonment
• Job loss
• Natural disasters
• Physical injury
• Rape
• Serious illness
• Terrorism
• Violence
• Witnessing a crime, accident, or death

Trauma often falls into one of three different categories. Some traumas, such as accidents or natural disasters, are one-time events that are limited in duration and scope.

Other traumas are long-lasting and ongoing, such as coping with a chronic illness or dealing with repeated domestic abuse. There are also types of trauma that are often overlooked, such as trauma that occurs during childbirth or surgery.
