I would say yes. For instance, my husbands never been raped, but he's extremely triggered by rape scenes in movies...he will get up and leave...screaming about how sickening and unessessary the scene was....he will stay "in a mood" for a long time afterwards.....hours and sometime through the next day.

It's weird how trauma works. You might have been trapped in a different way....emotionally trapped in a situation....something which made you feel stuck and not in control.....so now, anytime you feel trapped, you exercise your right to control that emotion and leave....something you perhaps couldn't do in the past. I'm not saying this is the case, just explaining how trauma and coping mechanisms can develop in unique ways and for different reasons.
