I entirely agree with Marie and Rainbow: trauma is something that usually happens to a person early in life, inflicted by one or more others. Trauma can happen in adult life too but only in the kinds of circumstances that occur involuntarily: war, crime, accidents, that kind of thing.
How you react in and out of therapy now are results of either early trauma or your PTSD. You'd do best to clear this up with your T. Take care!  |
Can't trauma happen at any time? I think you could be traumatized by a car wreck...right?
I do make a big distinction between DRAMA and TRAUMA. I think I do contibute to my own drama from time to time....no question. But I think my therapy has been primarily about unwinding the threads of the trauma which happened early in my life, which has echoes in the present.
That's my four cents worth anyway, adjusted for inflation...
