Archeotrauma
The Archeotrauma (alt. Archaeotrauma) is an unfamiliar name for a familiar phenomenon: the psychological wound a horse sustains when it is "broken"; other mammals, including human beings, are equally susceptible.
The word "Archaeotrauma" has been formed by placing the linking vowel (or interfix) -o- between archae ('first') and trauma ('wound'). The term reflects:
a) The point in the evolutionary timeline when such wounds first became possible.
b) The fact that it is the first psychological wound a human being can sustain.

A person suffering from an Archeotrauma may confuse its presence with the existence of a psychological "God". An unrecognised and compounded Archeotrauma may lead to a diagnosis of mental illness.
