The research uses two data sources, namely primary data source and secondary data source.

The secondary data source is other source related to the analysis such as the author biography, books about the psychology, particularly related to the psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud, and internet. The method of collecting data is done through documentation or library research.

He experienced intense emotion and reactivity (mostly anger and anxiety), flashback, and numbness. Those are emotional reactions.
