As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

When aiding a wounded person, what matters more is the severity of the wound. The nature of the device that caused it is useful to know, but that alone does not determine the seriousness of the cut it made.
Traumatic experiences are much the same.
Discussion of trauma and mentionings of child abuse
Im going to explain some things off the top of my head. I strongly encourage you to take what I say with a grain of salt and seek assistance from a professional as well as read books on the subject. Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine is an excellent read (be warned that there are a few descriptions of traumatic experiences in there) and Pete Walker's books and website are also very good.Ideally, a traumatic experience is supposed to go like this:
Appearance of stimuli (i.e. a car crash) -> stress response activation -> disappearance of stimuli (i.e. escaping to safety) -> stress response deactivation -> recovery period -> resumption of normal functioning.
Generally, traumatic disorders develop from the disruption of this cycle, especially the recovery period. This is why even "mild" cases of the repeated abuse/neglect of a child by a parent can be so damaging. The child often has no means of leaving the situation and can't really recover from the event.
Emotional neglect is also a possible vector for c-ptsd but I don't feel well-read enough to discuss that at length.
Edit:
To answer your question more directly, yes. Repeated little-t traumatic experiences can cause lasting effects similar to big-t traumatic experiences.
