The paper comments on the trauma caused by the shame and fear, as a significant psychosocial factor in the cultural historical processes during the Bulgarian national revival. The trauma is examined as a complex construct of inherited and acquired, as a projection of different traumatic situation in the life of the people of that time: situation "under the yoke"; cultural retardation; economic and commercial deficit; the destiny of "a foreigner" (Alfred Schütz), etc. The paper also studies the different types of display of the trauma caused by the emotions of fear, shame, and anger. At the same time the historical and cultural situation of the Bulgarian national revival finds ways to surmount the trauma.
