What causes trauma?

What causes trauma? And why do some experiences leave deep, lasting emotional wounds?

In this gentle, animated video, we explore the most common causes of trauma and PTSD:

🔹 Sexual violence – The leading cause of PTSD, not about sex but power, harm, and deep emotional wounds.
🔹 Domestic abuse – Fear, manipulation, and harm within the home, often from those meant to protect.
🔹 Loss of a loved one – Sudden grief can lead to PTSD and long-term emotional distress.
🔹 War, violence & disasters – Exposure to life-threatening events can leave lasting trauma.

70% of us will experience at least one traumatic event in our lifetime, and many suffer after such experiences. These events are experiences that overwhelm our ability to cope, leaving invisible injuries that can shape how we feel, think, and relate to the world.

You’ll also learn who is more vulnerable to trauma and why. Trauma is deeply personal, but it’s also more common than we think. And healing starts with understanding.

With warmth, respect, and compassion, this video is here to help you make sense of the pain—whether it's your own or someone else’s. You're not broken. You're human. And you’re not alone.
