Dr. Mike Dadson (Michael Dadson) Answers Important Questions About Trauma
What is Traumatic Stress?
Dr. Michael Dadson reports:
The actual criteria of that traumatic stressful event is death, threatened death, actual or threatened serious injury, or actual or threatened sexual violence. There may be a direct or indirect exposure to the stressor. For example, you may witness (by hearing or seeing) an individual violent near-death experience (indirect). You also may directly experience violence and near death yourself (direct).
