In it's most basic form, trauma occurs when our experience overwhelms our available coping resources. This can change moment to moment, person to person. Some days we have more coping capacity than others. Some people have different coping capacities. That's why no trauma experience is the same. It's also why sometimes we think we shouldn't be impacted by something "so stupid"... but I'll let you in a secret, your body knows what it can handle and what it can't. Listen to it if it's telling you something is too much!
