A trauma trigger is a psychological stimulus that prompts involuntary recall of a previous traumatic experience, typically in the form of a flashback to that overwhelming prior experience. The stimulus itself need not be frightening or traumatic and may be only indirectly or superficially reminiscent of an earlier traumatic incident, such as a scent or a piece of clothing.
