The narrative surrounding traumatic experiences plays a significant role in how individuals perceive and internalize those experiences. The speaker highlights how the context and societal norms of different time periods can shape whether an event is seen as traumatic or not. They emphasize the power of narrative in defining the impact of events on individuals, suggesting that the labels and interpretations assigned to experiences can influence how people process and carry them forward. By challenging the notion of subscribing to a traumatic experience and the associated labels, the speaker encourages a shift towards focusing on moving forward from past events rather than being defined by them.
