We suggest conceptualizing cumulative trauma responses as an intersecting trajectory model, between the effects of previous traumatic events and those of the current one, reflecting a combination of individuals' resilience and vulnerability. Suitable policies/practices in which each specific traumatic event is seen alone, as well as in tandem with others, should be implemented.
