I had seen and passed this book over a number of times because I never experienced what I thought was true trauma. It was only after evidence of past trauma came out in some neuropsych testing I recently did to see if I had ADHD that I reconsidered my past experiences and how they may have impacted who I am today. I’m looking at some things differently and understanding how they may have affected me - growing up LGBT and isolated as a result, with parents who had a dysfunctional and often rocky relationship. I’m starting to see that trauma doesn’t necessarily mean you were subjected to some sort of violence or single life shattering event, especially as a child.
