Interpersonal trauma is psychological trauma as a result of interactions between people. It can result in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Chronic, sustained interpersonal trauma can result in complex post-traumatic stress disorder, which has both symptoms of PTSD and also problems in developmental areas such as emotional self-regulation and interpersonal functioning.1 More than half of the incidents causing interpersonal trauma happen to children and teenagers.1
