Trauma

What exactly a trauma, or a traumatic or traumatizing experience is, is not so easy to describe. Are the experiences that people would have called traumas 100, 1000, or 10,000 years ago, those that we would also call so today? Have we changed in our handling and processing of certain traumatic situations over the years? Today, it is more of a general consensus that trauma is rather a culture-related term, but the human being in his biopsychological functioning has not changed much in this context.
