I would look up the life history of Temüjin, Viktor Frankl, and others. Seriously. Do a quick web search.
There is a circular definition here. If we define trauma in terms of harmful outcomes, it's bad by definition, but that's arguing semantics and not psychology. The slipperiness comes in when we switch definitions mid-paragraph.
