First...If nothing physical happened, is it still trauma? ABSOLUTELY. Much of the trauma I've been through has been not been physical trauma.

I had a flashback yesterday from a simple phrase repeated by someone that an abuser had used. That abuser was never a physical abuser and would tell you he is the most gentle, most sacrificing, most 'Godly' man on earth.
I find mornings the worst, knowing you'll wake to being obsessed with the latest trauma. Interestingly, my BP is also always higher in the mornings.
