    If you’re genuinely interested, I would suggest finding better sources for more accurate information.

    for example, this is from the American Psychological Association:

    Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, rape, or natural disaster. Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical. Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships, and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea.

    While these feelings are normal, some people have difficulty moving on with their lives. Psychologists can help them find constructive ways of managing their emotions.

    You do yourself a disservice when you just arbitrarily decide that your perspective is “right.” information isn’t right or wrong, there are degrees of accuracy. It’s important to just try to learn more accurate information.

      Does this help you to understand the why? Trauma is such a loaded word that any official definition is strongly limited in its expressiveness. Where can I find the definitions that work?

        I’m sorry I couldn’t find a definition that works for you, since you’re clearly not actually discussing in good faith. Goodbye, troll.

          I didn’t mean to offend you and I want you to know that I appreciated that you took the time to not only look up the link but also copy the explanation. Of course I have to object. I think I am in line with the comic when I ask why there is anxiety. The capital letter ‘why’ wouldn’t be funny if ‘trauma creates anxiety’ would be a sufficient answer.
