[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trauma doesn’t always look like what you’d expect. Somebody like Pete Davidson is what most people think when they think of trauma — watching your dad die on 9/11. One big or a series of big events. But I can be cumulative. I grew up upper middle class in a stable two parent home in which I had everything I could ever want and a large loving extended family and friend group. However, my mother found a way to call me fat every day, and was generally disapproving of everything I did or said and expressed it to my face on a regular basis. No where near as bad as being a refugee or bei mg raped but it was EVERY DAY from my earliest memories until the day I left home. It can be a cumulative effect of something that seems small. I’ve never known parental approval or acceptance and that’s traumatic. [/quote]

Agree with you, and I'm sorry. ❤[/quote]

This is a great example of Big T and little t - the terms in the psych trauma world. PP experienced constant little t, which does cause significant harm, and may result in C-PTSD. Pete Davidson experienced what is called a Big T, and can result in PTSD.[/quote]
