[quote=Anonymous][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] +1[/quote] Splitting hairs about whether living with divorced or alcoholic parents counts as traumatic enough really diverts from the very real prevalence of violence, physical and sexual abuse of children in our country.[/quote]
