I'm not after philosophy; I'm after mechanisms, why things happen.

1. Traumatic Event ---> Stress ---> Effective Coping ---> Health ---> Good Decision Making Ability ---> Avoidance of Trauma
2. Traumatic Event ---> Stress ---> Reacting ---> Relative Stability w/ Increased Stress Response ---> Decreased Decision Making Ability ---> Susceptibility to Further Negativity
3. Traumatic Event ---> Stress ---> Inaction ---> Disease/Victimization ---> Poor Decision Making Ability ---> Repeating Negative Patterns
