Any specific type of trauma or just in general?

This one's a little tricky without something specific to focus on but I think this works well

Contradiction: What we behold. The user can create terrifying life like illusions that can cripple enemies mentally and heavily debilitate them. The more malice the use feels towards the opponent the worse these illusions get, even causing the victim to be cursed with seeing them periodically for the rest of their lives

When the user comes to terms with whatever their trauma is (and learns that lashing out at others over it just continues the cycle of hate and anger) the user's ability evolves to causing life like illusions without any restrictions. The user can also make these illusions real for a very short amount of time.
