It depends what you call trauma. I was not beaten or whipped.

I suffered trauma but it was about neglect, being 'unseen' invisible, dominated by a ultra controlling mother who never 'saw' me at all. Who never allowed me to even speak.
There is physical abuse that shows like bruises etc. Then there is emotional abuse that can be subtle invisible to everyone. Except you.
Both can cause trauma.

I have dissociated, felt depersonalized. Stress makes it worse.

Do you have a good relationship with your family can you talk to them, feel comfortable?
