What role does trauma play, like early childhood trauma play in how we respond in situations?

Well, now we're really getting deep. It depends on, again, I'm being black and white, if someone has

a really bad trauma childhood, it can have repercussions throughout life, because now the circuits in

your brain are developing. So if you have a really traumatic event and not necessarily what we would

define as traumatic, it's what the child defines. So I'm being a bit facetious here. For example,

if it's got its favourite suites and somebody steals them, that could be a traumatic childhood

event at that moment in time. The impact was so significant that it has repercussions,

it's damaging the circuits. It might, for example, perceive that as nothing in life is safe. Anything

I have can be removed. However, most children get over it in seconds, you know, but it depends on

the child and what stage they're at and what the circumstances are at that point. Somebody else

might have child abuse, for example, which is much more likely to have repercussions throughout life.

So, but we still get children to get child abuse and have no repercussions. So it isn't a definite

black and white. It's probabilities. Is it the way that I've come to understand it? It's almost like

we're wearing our own sunglasses, which is metaphor for like interpretation. So me and my brother,

we could be identical twins. We go through the same experience, but we're wearing different

sunglasses. We interpret that experience differently. We deposit evidence about what that experience

means into our computer. You're absolutely right. And it all hangs on, for example, somebody,

like your parent might suddenly say, oh, you're just an idiot. You know, but something might have

happened just before that where you've gone to school and you've got one out of ten and you were

bottom of the spelling test and you've come home and then your father, you've done something at

home and made a mistake and he says you're an idiot. And the two together get emotionally tangled

and that then damages the circuits. Whereas normally, if you come home, you just got nine out
