Trauma is the impact that a person experiences after
confronted by an unpleasant experience that has had a devastating effect on
that person.
The causes of trauma are numerous and may include such
factors such as bereavement, addiction, violence, accidents and more often
than not, crime.
In some cases the trauma may be brought about by the
conditions under which people have to work. Police officers who are
constantly under threat of death and who have experienced a number of
incidents of shoot outs where they have lost colleagues, are an example of
this category. The same applies to soldiers who have seen action and
develop conditions referred to as battle fatigue, bomb shock, or Bossies
Being subjected to such conditions over extended periods
may result in personality changes, substance abuse and a deterioration of
family ties.
Like wise people who have been Survivors of violent crimes
may experience a personality changes and become more aggressive, develop
phobias or become suicidal.
Regrettably South Africa has become a hot spot for violent
crime and the effect on the population has been devastating. Much of the
road rage may be attributed to this.
Crisis intervention may help, not only the Survivors,
but also their immediate family to be able to understand these issues and
to support their loved ones when they go through these phases.

geskiet word, is veral uitgelewer aan trauma. Weermags lede wat diens
gedoen het en in insidente betrokke was, is ook daaraan blootgestel.
Hoewel iemand na 'n rooftog nie altyd sal erken dat die
gebeure hom of haar geskud het nie, gaan dit op die een of ander wyse die
persoon se lewens uitkyk verander.
Die effek kan wees dat 'n kalm en bedaarde persoon, skielik
aggresief en moeilik word Ander simptome is depressie, skielike pad
woede, sommige mense gryp na die bottel. Egskeiding is ongelukkig ook
