The Misuse of Trauma as a Diagnosis
The podcast episode discusses the controversy surrounding the diagnosis of trauma and emphasizes that events themselves are not inherently traumatic, but rather our individual responses to them. The speaker expresses concern about the overgeneralization of trauma in popular culture, where everything is labeled as trauma without proper understanding or nuance. The medicalization of everyday life is highlighted as a potential consequence of this trend, where normal experiences are pathologized. The importance of differentiating between big T traumas and little T traumas is explored to highlight that trauma reactions are subjective and vary from person to person.
