According to the DSM-V, a traumatic event involves the threatened or actual death or serious injury, or a threat to the wellbeing of oneself or to another person. Traumatic events may be human caused accidents or catastrophes. Traumatic events fracture and shatter the very basic assumptions people have about themselves and the world they live in. This is because we develop theories about how the world works. When traumatic events do happen to us, it is often not just a recovery from the specific acts of violence that is needed but a recovery that involves a reorganization and understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
