Retraumatization

Trauma is defined as a person's emotional response to an event that is overwhelmingly distressing. Retraumatization occurs when a person relives or again experiences a previously experienced trauma. It can disrupt an individual's sense of safety and lead to ongoing emotional challenges. Everyone experiences trauma differently; what one person finds very distressing might not have the same impact on someone else.
