Trauma is a mental injury or wound generated by negative emotions. Psychology functions by managing and controlling emotional flows, and psychology and emotions are directly linked. Most psychological disorders are caused by negative emotions, so studies on trauma are a necessity. When trauma affects human psychology, the defense mechanism in human mind initiates its work in an effort to meet the standard of happiness. Negative emotions have a huge impact on human psychology and often become the cause of psychological disorders.

             The traditional psychological theories have their focuses on trauma with explanations from psychopathology and counseling psychological point of views. Researchers have endeavored to develop treatment methods for trauma. But many treatments for trauma have uniform methods for both man and woman, and have revealed their limitations in providing counseling with the absence of knowledge on the working principles of trauma. Even if man and woman have the same cause of their trauma, the techniques of counseling and method of cure should be different since their defense mechanisms are utterly different.

             With the development of the Theory of Mimind, we have discovered that trauma affects man and woman differently in their memory of emotions due to their different defense mechanisms. So we have defined man’s trauma as progressive and woman’s trauma as resultant. We divided trauma in this categorization, and when we applied this principle in our actual treatment sessions, we witnessed such significant treatment efficacy for psychological disorders.

             Trauma can be divided as ‘progressive’ and ‘resultant.’ In the occurrence and operation of trauma, it is seen as progressive trauma when the occurrence of trauma is continuing at present. It is resultant trauma if the occurrence of trauma came to a full stop, and its consequences are happening. Progressive trauma is caused by stress and resultant trauma is caused by wounds.

             Human beings regardless of age and gender all suffer from trauma. Trauma takes place when it goes against human psychological standard of pursuit of happiness. Stress is induced by negative moods, and stress can be transformed into wounds and trauma develops when wounds continue. When man’s standard of pursuit of future happiness is not met, stress may occur. When woman’s standard of present happiness is not met, wounds may develop.

             Trauma can occur under three major circumstances. First, it can happen due to external shock. External shock has nothing to do with oneself. A particular incident or phenomenon can cause negative emotions. For example, Sewol Ferry sank into a deep sea back in 2014. This is an example of external shock that the victim is not directly involved at all. We can be stressed and hurt even through such incidents or accidents.

             Second, trauma can also take place due to one’s own psychology that remembers negative emotions. This is self-inflicted trauma due to one’s own memory of negative emotions. This kind of trauma happens only individually. Recollection of negative memories causes trauma. Since only woman can remember negative feelings, this only applies to woman. Man cannot remember negative moods, and this type does not apply to man.

             The third type of trauma occurs through psychological interactions. Emotions are generated in the process of perception and expression of each others’ psychology in the formation of human relations. When negative emotions are generated, trauma may develop through simultaneous psychological operations in both parties. Recognizing the other’s unconscious speech, actions, and facial expressions with conscious awareness may induce negative emotions, and then trauma may follow.

             To sum up, the three types of trauma are the following: one by external shock, another by one's memory of emotions, and the last by psychological interactions between one and the other. Looking into all these three kinds of trauma, we can say trauma develops within one’s own psychology, and it comes from stress or wounds. Since it happens due to one’s emotions, one may try to find the cause of trauma and understand it, thinking one can remove its cause, and then will feel normal, which is a total misunderstanding. Even if one removes the cause of trauma, trauma remains since it has already developed within one’s psychology. Also, one might think the past experiences are the cause of trauma since it has resulted from the wounds of the past. This idea only makes trauma persist. Trauma will continue to operate due to circumstances and situations regardless of its cause.
