Resource Description
Discusses how every traumatic event is made up of traumatic moments that may include varying degrees of objective life threat, physical violation, and witnessing of injury or death. Trauma-exposed children experience subjective reactions to these moments such as feelings, thoughts, physiological responses, and concerns for the safety of others. Accompanying this, children may consider a range of possible protective actions, not all of which they can or do act on.
