I don't think this is a useful way of thinking. If we applied the same thing to physical medicine then every impact of an air molecule with your skin would be a "trauma" which is clearly absurd. There needs to be very clear boundaries for these things or else they become completely meaningless. It's meaning comes from it's restricted use, which seems to me have become completely unrestricted as of late.
