What is the term for traumatic incidents that interfere with neurobiological development and the capacity to integrate sensory, emotional, and cognitive information into a cohesive whole?

Positive Stress

Complex Trauma (Chronic)

Complex Trauma (Chronic) is the correct term for traumatic incidents that interfere with neurobiological development and the capacity to integrate sensory, emotional, and cognitive information into a cohesive whole. Complex trauma refers to exposure to multiple traumatic events over an extended period, which can have a profound and long-lasting impact on an individual's well-being, mental health, and ability to function. This contrasts with isolated trauma (Acute), which involves a singular traumatic incident, Positive Stress, which refers to brief and mild to moderate stressful situations that can promote growth, and ACES, which stands for Adverse Childhood Experiences and includes various types of childhood adversity beyond just trauma.
