Recurrent, distressing memories or nightmares related to the traumatic event, flashbacks, or a sense of reliving the traumatic experience, and intrusive thoughts or images that cause significant distress.

Avoidance and Detachment

Avoiding activities, places, or people that remind the individual of the traumatic event, avoiding discussing or thinking about the traumatic event, and feeling a sense of detachment or emotional numbness.
