It can be observed in both emotional and physiological systems and plays a key role in trauma responses, anxiety disorders, and certain neurological conditions.

Sensitization can develop after a single intense experience or through repeated lower-intensity exposures. It is especially relevant in contexts involving trauma, chronic stress, phobias, and psychosomatic conditions.
