Does the word trauma appear in scripture.?

I think it is important to make a distinction here.....much of, if not all of, what you speak of as trauma is really the impact and result of sin. To say a person needs to deal with their trauma in some ways puts the blame for that trauma on them.
Sin is the culprit of that trauma. The one who sinned against them is responsible for that trauma. Sometimes, that responsibility lied with the person!
Until the one who created the trauma deals according to the law of Gd with that trauma, it will not be resolved in the spiritual realm for either party. If they do not resolve it, GD will resolve it for them through His wrath and judgment!
I can just feel the pride of the children of Israel as Gd's word and faithfulness healed much of their wounds when the sea overtook Pharaoh and his army in justice for sin!
As we see today, people find healing in justice!
I cannot help but wonder if Joseph felt the same when GD sent the drought!

Tzedakah occurs when one gives to another
As a voluntary act. Nothing is expected in return. One gives from one's abundance to another who lacks.
Tzedakah is the quintessential mitzvah.
Why? Perhaps because Hashem also created all of Creation as a voluntary act, out of abundance, expecting nothing in return (although a thank you is always appreciated by both Hashem and people)

And... . By both loving and fearing Hashem out of gratitude, we become his people without which He cannot be a King, AND we give Him a dwelling place down here below.

What does Hashem want?
Being that He created all of creation, and each of us, infusing us with a spark of Himself, it is "poshit" that He desires that we appreciate this by both loving and fearing ("awe") Him.
Every parent who has likewise "created" a child, also desires that his children appreciate this fact by having the child both love and fear ("awe") his parent.
Woe to the atheist who obviously doesn't love or fear Him who He denies altogether, and woe to the child who doesn't love and fear his parent.
Both rooted in gratitude.
