I agree that there's value that can be found, but it's not the kind of value that I think most would choose to acquire if they were given a choice and understood what the experience would entail. It's a silver lining. It's like throwing a faster pitch after Tommy John surgery. But when we're talking about childhood trauma/stress, I'd be more cautious about associating value. While value may certainly be derived by folks fortunate enough to find a path out, many don't find that path. And that path out can also leave quite a bit of damage in its wake.
