Most people start from a place where they say "I am completely normal and everything I do is normal" and reason from there. For a person to acknowledge their trauma they must be wanting to be free of it and at least be able to see them themselves for who they truly are. Your idea that most people have experienced trauma growing up of some form, but few want to admit to such really does not surprise me. What is with the "particular type of trauma" idea? While they are not the same at all I don't see the value in any hierarchy of trauma. Trauma is an individual's inability to cope with an experience.
