Just going by my own experience, I think it can, yes. If each traumatizing event slowly undermines the persons already tenuous confidence and trust in life and in themselves, then that sense of shame, already present in the person, can in all likelihood be magnified or brought to the surface even more, yes, causing a withdrawal from society etc. It's quite insidious. That's why it's important to keep addressing these things.
