Trauma is not an objective event but the relationship between past experiences and present sensations, and individuals can reduce suffering by re-interpreting these experiences.

“Trauma is not something that happens in the world to you. Everything you experience is a combination of the remembered past and the sensory present.”

Childhood trauma can manifest as adult anxiety or PTSD, and individuals suffering from it should seek professional help.

“and so you know if you're somebody that's constant having triggers come up because of things that you witnessed or survived in your childhood it's really important to talk to a licensed professional about whether or not it could be a form of PTSD”
