[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the word "trauma" is over-used. When I think of childhood "trauma" I think of severe instances---like being in a terrible accident, or being beaten/abused regularly, or seeing a family member killed in front of you, or being abandoned by your parents. Then there are the "adverse environmental factors"---like having parents divorce, or living in poverty, or with a family member who is an alcoholic (though not abusive). But today "trauma" is used for everything. [/quote] These are sometimes differentiated with the terms "Big T trauma" and "little t trauma". Big T is rarer, yes. But actually something seemingly mild, like just growing up chronically feeling your parents do not understand who you are at all...can be painfully and surprisingly damaging to some individuals.
