Not every painful experience is trauma—and labeling everything as such can actually slow recovery. When we blur the lines, we risk overwhelming people and minimizing the seriousness of true traumatic events.
Healing starts with clarity. Understanding the difference between stress, hardship, and trauma helps us choose the right coping strategies and support systems.
✅ Trauma involves a profound sense of threat and lasting impact on safety and identity.
✅ Stress and adversity, while challenging, often allow for growth and resilience.
Let’s use language that empowers healing, not hinders it.
