My experiences were inter-psychical violence. In fact the physical expression of force and psychical violence are different things. Both experiences are terrifying.
I think the point of the particularly shamanic experience, though, is that the psychical terror changes the perspective from an outside-in perspective, to one that is inside-out. That is, it intensifies subjectivity (inner sensations) and also prioritizes them.
Once one has become shamanically alive, through this prioritizing of the inner life, everything seems changed and possibly more alive than before.
So there is a qualitative difference between a shocking experience that is not shamanic and one that is.
