Persecutor-Traumaholder

undefined:

A persecutor-traumaholder is a type of persecutor that lashes out directly because of trauma. Trauma responses can often be dangerous in and of themselves when taken out of the context that trained them, and many persecutors may lash out mostly or solely because of trauma, or even out of frustration that they cannot share their trauma.

It should be noted that while most persecutors are trauma holders, most persecutors are not acting specifically and exclusively out of trauma, though it most certainly plays a large role for a lot of them. Persecutors that seek out dangerous situations or habits in order to cope with trauma fall under this category.
