Psychological traumaPsychological trauma (also known as mental trauma, psychiatric trauma, emotional damage, or psychotrauma) is an emotional response caused by severe distressing events, such as bodily injury, sexual violence, or other threats to the life of the subject or their loved ones; indirect exposure, such as from watching television news, may be extremely distressing and can produce an involuntary and possibly overwhelming physiological stress response, but does not always produce trauma.
Traumatic memoriesThe management of traumatic memories is important when treating mental health disorders such as post traumatic stress disorder. Traumatic memories can cause life problems even to individuals who do not meet the diagnostic criteria for a mental health disorder. They result from traumatic experiences, including natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis; violent events such as kidnapping, terrorist attacks, war, domestic abuse and rape.
Post-traumatic embitterment disorderPost-traumatic embitterment disorder (PTED) is a pathological response to a single adverse life event perceived by the affected individual as a serious insult, humiliation, or injustice. The predominant emotions are persistent embitterment, anger, and hatred, particularly toward the triggering stressor, often accompanied by intrusive memories of the event and fantasies of revenge. The disorder emerges immediately following the triggering event.
AftershaveAftershave is a product applied to skin after shaving. Traditionally, it is an alcohol-based liquid (splash), but it can be a lotion, gel, or even a paste. It often contains an antiseptic agent such as denatured alcohol, stearate citrate or witch hazel to prevent infection of cuts, as well as to act as an astringent to reduce skin irritation. Menthol is used in some varieties as well to numb irritated skin.PerfumeMixture of fragrant substancePerfume ( , US also ) is a mixture of fragrantessential oils or aroma compounds (fragrances), fixatives and solvents, usually in liquid form, used to give the human body, animals, food, objects, and living-spaces an agreeable scent. Perfumes can be defined as substances that emit and diffuse a pleasant and fragrant odor. They consist of artificial mixtures of aromatic chemicals and essential oils.
September 11 attacks2001 terror attacks in the U.S.The September 11 attacks, colloquially known as 9/11, were a coordinated series of suicide attacks perpetrated by the Islamic terrorist organization al-Qaeda against the United States in 2001. A total of 19 hijackers commandeered four commercial passenger airliners.
Flashback (psychology)A flashback, or involuntary recurrent memory, is a psychologicalphenomenon in which an individual has a sudden, usually powerful, re-experiencing of a past experience, or elements of a past experience. These experiences can be frightening, happy, sad, exciting, or any number of other emotions.HandcuffsHandcuffs are restraint devices designed to secure an individual's wrists in proximity to each other. They comprise two parts, linked together by a chain, a hinge, or rigid bar. Each cuff has a rotating arm which engages with a ratchet that prevents it from being opened once closed around a person's wrist.
Post-traumatic stress disorderMental disorder associated with traumaMedical conditionPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental disorder that develops from experiencing a traumatic event. Examples include sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse, warfare along its associated traumas, natural disaster, bereavement, traffic collision, or other traumatic events on a person's life or well-being.
StressorSomething that causes stress to an organism A stressor is a chemical or biological agent, environmental condition, external stimulus or an event seen as causing stress to an organism. Psychologically speaking, a stressor can be events or environments that individuals might consider demanding, challenging, and/or threatening individual safety.Stimulus (psychology)In psychology, a stimulus is any object or event that elicits a sensory or behavioral response in an organism. In this context, a distinction is made between the distal stimulus (the external, perceived object) and the proximal stimulus (the stimulation of sensory organs).
Panic attackPanic attacks are sudden periods of intense fear and discomfort that may include palpitations, otherwise defined as a rapid, irregularheartbeat, sweating, chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, trembling, dizziness, numbness, confusion, or a sense of impending doom or loss of control. Typically, these symptoms are the worst within ten minutes of onset and can last for roughly 30 minutes, though they can vary anywhere from seconds to hours.
