It is an impact on a persons emotions or behavior that affects them from childhood through adult.

An example would be a child who is constantly berated by his parents or sdults then having difficulty in relationships as an adult because of it.

A quick way to think of it would be like a small child getting scared by a dog and being afraid of dogs all his life.

What is an action that can harm a person?

There are many actions (too many to list here) that can cause harm to a person either emotionally and/or physically. There is direct physical harm (punching, kicking, throwing something at the person) , emotional harm (the emotional effects of drugs, alcohol, or suicide upon one's family), and both (abuse survivors, other situations). In many cases these can also be combined in many ways, as in the case of a drunk driver crashing into another vehicle - there could be harm to the drunk driver and other occupants of his/her vehicle and the other vehicle (including possibly death), emotional harm upon survivors, emotional harm to rescuers, emotional harm to the families and friends of those involved, and financial difficulties due to the accident, etc. These are just a small amount of actions that can harm a person.
