Abstract

This study aims to explore how traumatic experiences influence behaviour in a reactive manner. Is it possible that
trauma of significant intensity and duration can “revive,” that is, generate a “traumatic algorithm” which, through
replication, becomes optimized within a person’s emotional–motivational, social, moral, and conative traits and
capacities-ultimately reprogramming their character, behaviour, thought processes, and emotional regulation,
beyond their conscious will? This observational and quantitative research began several decades ago, initially
based on personal and familial experiences, and later expanded to include the experiences of others (through
conversations, interviews, and surveys), starting in 2005 in the Republic of Serbia. A total of 61 individual cases
were recorded (female/male: 41/20; average age: 52 years). Our long-term research and observations indicate
that trauma-understood as the psychological adaptation to the effects of one or more intense stress-inducing
events arising from social interactions-develops, transforms, and adapts over time, much like the human being.
If the frequency and intensity of trauma are not reduced (similar to the way software programs are optimized
through information processing), the traumatic algorithm may, over time, become optimized and assume control
over the individual. Even if the person reacts consciously, they may become, in a certain sense, psychologically
compromised-unable to comprehend or regulate their own behaviour by an act of will, learning only retroactively
through the consequences of their actions what they have done.
