Trauma, believe it or not, is not about the event. Now, I want to get on my roof and shout this from the rooftops.

Believe it or not, nothing is automatically traumatic. It's in how we respond to the event, how we process it,

and how much exposure we have over time repeatedly that increases the likelihood of an event being traumatic.
