Abstract
This senior project is an exploration of trauma and its lasting psychological, emotional, and physiological effects on victims of violent crimes. Drawing from personal experience, case studies, and academic research, I examine how trauma manifests through PTSD, dissociation, hypersexuality, sleep disorders, and behavioral changes. The project features interviews and stories from multiple individuals affected by sexual assault, police violence, and childhood abuse, highlighting the diversity of trauma responses and coping mechanisms such as therapy, emotional support animals, and peer support groups. It also critiques societal responses, misconceptions about trauma, and the need for trauma-informed care and support systems.
