I believe the biggest characteristic that unites people who have experienced trauma is that their ability to act normally has been taken away. When I was 15, a burglar tried to break into our house, and I confronted him. Even when I'm sitting in my own home, I know something bad can happen because it's not impossible. I think a normal person almost never thinks about this possibility. This is why I feel so sorry for people who have experienced traumatic events. Our innocence and goodwill were exploited, and it's very difficult to repair that.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing that Aysel. I am so sorry that happened to you, and you make such a great point about the experience of trauma (especially at a young age)

You're welcome. Actually, I recently wrote an article titled "Learning from Trauma," where I addressed a point you mentioned. Unfortunately, including those who have experienced trauma, we all tend to underestimate this issue. However, the true impact of trauma always lingers somewhere within us. That's why I thank you for writing about trauma. People need to be more aware of this issue.
