Psychological trauma is an affliction of the powerless.  At the moment of trauma, the victim is rendered helpless by overwhelming force.  When the force is that of nature, we speak of disasters.  When the force is that of other human beings, we speak of atrocities.  Traumatic events overwhelm the ordinary systems of care that give people a sense of control, connection, and meaning.
