Many things collctively contribute to an individual event of emotional overwhelm. Personal behaviors, addictions, past events, support or the absence of support, and especially ones personal patterns of responding to the overwhelm if it has happened before. I have not talked about the external response to ones overwhelm. Do others support and express loving concern and provide assistance or do they angrily push the sufferer away or dismiss them? Many responses that are intended to be helpful can be experienced as invasive and interfering. Ones rights and sense of dignity become seriously violated. This only adds to the initiial trauma.
