ReplyDeleteI think this post is very well constructed. This post not only explained what a traumatic Experience is, but it also explained how one might get a traumatic experience, what some physiological effects are, and how to treat them. Overall this is a good post that explains a lot about traumatic experiences. This post really related to me because a few people in my family have experienced a traumatic experience (one was pretty resent) that followed up with PTSD and had to go to a therapist to help cope with the psychological trauma. So, very well done, but I think you are supposed to have site your sources in MLA.
