No trauma has discrete edges. Trauma bleeds. Out of wounds and across boundaries.
Fear of anti-Semitism almost is part of our religion. Throughout time Jewish people have experienced traumas that we relive in a lot of the things we celebrate.
Most of us have unhealthy thoughts and emotions that have either developed as a result of trauma or hardships in their childhood, or the way they were raised.
Characters who experience great trauma will sometimes create an escape.
People like head trauma. They love knockouts. The crowd is silent, silent, silent. . . and then a knockout happens, and everyone goes native. There would be far fewer knockouts without the gloves.

I think trauma gets a reductive treatment. We tend to think only violence or molestation or total abandonment qualify as "childhood trauma," but there are so many ruptures and disturbances in childhood that imprint themselves on us.
