Writing Traumatized Characters

Most characters won't happily talk about their trauma at any given time.

If they do talk about it, that won't besically make the trauma go away (although it's still good to talk to someone).

Give them something that relieves stress (nail biting, drawing on their arms, biting their lip, etc) if someone mentions it or if they think about it.

Don't make every character go through trauma the same exact way.
