2025! ha! we now see trauma lingo everywhere like a fad. That is by no means a good thing as all clinicians claim to understand how to work with trauma and most remain dangerously ignorant. It's definitely entered the mainstream conventional wisdom, however, and that brings with it all sorts of problems. There is good too that so many people can start to be aware..... As a social worker and clinician working with “the seriously mentally ill” for many years, I never came upon someone who didn’t have severe trauma in their histories.  I can pretty confidently say those who I encountered who were in that particular labeled segment had a solid 100% rate of trauma in their histories. What gets called "mental illness" is in large part a reaction to trauma. It's quite simple really. When we start listening to people's stories of pain rather than numbing them out and silencing them with neurotoxic drugs we will start healing them. Until then people will remain broken. One of the most basic needs for a wounded human being to heal is to be seen. Recognized. Validated.
