Trauma itself is typically viewed as the emotional response to a particular event; an event that is extraordinarily stressful.
The definition of a traumatic event involves exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence in one (or more) of the following ways:
1. Directly experiencing the traumatic event(s).
2. Witnessing, in person, the event(s) as it occurred to others.
3. Learning that the traumatic event(s) occurred to a close family member or close friend. In cases of actual or threatened death of a family member or friend, the event(s) must have been violent or accidental.
4. Experiencing repeated or extreme exposure to aversive details of the traumatic event(s) (e.g., first responders collecting human remains: police officers repeatedly exposed to details of child abuse). This does not apply to exposure through electronic media, television, movies, or pictures, unless this exposure is work related.
While historically, emotional and psychological trauma was viewed as being attributable to a single traumatic event, this has changed over time. Certainly, there are many cases where one single event produces emotional and psychological trauma. However, equally applicable, especially to those with a career in the fire or law enforcement field, is the ongoing, cumulative stress that someone in your department may experience.
