Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT listed as an effect of primary and secondary trauma?

Trauma exposure tends to produce ongoing stress-related responses in both mind and body. Chronic stress and hypervigilance are classic effects, reflecting a persistent state of heightened alertness and strain on the nervous system. Aggression can emerge as a defensive reaction in some individuals who have experienced trauma. Increased physical stamina, however, does not fit trauma’s typical pattern; while adrenaline might briefly boost performance, sustained stamina generally declines with prolonged trauma exposure due to fatigue and burnout.
