My experience is YES! I am diagnosed with PTSD and been diagnoses twice in a hospital with Acute stress as an after effect of abuse/trauma

I have been seriously injured physically many times.

Though I get triggers/flashbacks from physical traumas.

I get more triggers and traumas from emotional/mental abuse. I am triggered and had more nightmares over mental/emotional abuse than my physical abuse. As strange as it may sound. ...and I have been through some horrible abuses, even some that lasted hours to about a full day...going into more days. (I didn't know how to put that. Because it would be a couple to a few times of physical abuse in a couple to few days.

The mental/emotional abuse during that...was so much more tormenting. Because it is a direct target to your mind. I speak about and cry about more what was told to me as it keeps echoing through my mind haunting me, than I have physical abuses.

My physical abuses were pretty severe and I had many of them.
