How Do You Define Trauma?
Our stress responses are very much programmed by our early, uh, developmental experiences. So in essence, how nurturing our parents were has a big impact on our own ability to have handled stress positively or negatively. And then we pass that down. Some people just don't handle stress very well. They don't handle a frustration very well. You should have seen me this morning at the hotel when the swinging pool didn't open in time, you know? But I was a lot better than I might have been years ago, you know. It's not something bad that happens to you. We're stuck in emotional states that characterized their development when they were traumatized.
