“…According to the literature on adults (Brewin & Holmes, 2003;Stein, Trabasso, & Albro, 2001), our data suggest that the narratives of traumatized children are structured on the non-processing of negative emotions: in our study, children with PTSD symptoms reported their traumatic experiences with a greater amount of negative emotions, which are manifested through a wide range of shades (such as anger, sadness, shame, guilt, and disgust; Lee, Scragg, & Turner, 2001), not only with the "standard" PTSD emotions of fear, helplessness, and horror (Grey & Holmes, 2008;Holmes et al, 2005). This result confirms previous studies on adults (Boals & Rubin, 2011;Rubin et al, 2004;Rullkoetter et al, 2009), in which the higher use of negative emotions indicates a more immersion in the traumatic event (Eid, Johnson, & Saus, 2005).…”
