They picture shouting, insults, threats, humiliation in front of a crowd or physical intimidation. Those forms of bullying certainly exist and because they are obvious, they are easier for others to recognize. It is easy to recognize a man hovering over a woman and using his presence to intimidate her into submission or when an adult does it to a child or even another adult; or even a child to an adult.

Trauma hurts…
Trauma — is an emotional or psychological response to very stressful, frightening, or distressing events. Trauma comes in different forms. Physical trauma refers to a person suffering a sudden injury caused by an accident like a car crash. Physical trauma heals over time. Bones can be re-set in theater and will heal again. Bruises and cuts can be nasty, but most heal in time with medical attention.
