The nature of trauma has been widely discussed, analysed and researched in the literature. In this conceptual paper the authors elaborate on the influences of external and internal traumas on the human being. The authors propose that internal trauma is fuelled by the spirituality of the human being, spirituality being defined as the human capacity for having ideals in life and striving or labouring in pursuit of them. Spiritual violation of the human being could be caused externally or internally. Externally caused spiritual violation or trauma could be dealt with through the possibility of the removal of external forces or stressor/s such as physical, socioeconomic, group or personal attacks. Internal trauma is much more complex to heal and requires skilled and concentrated effort for psychological professionals to uncover the genesis of the trauma, expose it and apply a healing analytical process. Internally caused spiritual violation or trauma is often hidden in the unconscious. It is frequently too threatening to the ego of the human being when it becomes actively. and consciously visible or knowledgeable to the victim. The authors provide case studies and conclude that hypnoanalytic technique is an appropriate form of treatment in the psychotherapeutic management of internal trauma.
