Do you believe everyone experiences childhood trauma?

Question

Answer

Of various degrees, yes. Even "good childhoods" have trauma.

Answer

Soooo many things can be traumatic. Even as a newborn, circs cause mental trauma. Spanking causes trauma. Parents who can't emotionally regulate and have yelling out bursts causes trauma etc.
I believe everyone has some. Just because its normal doesn't mean it's not traumatic

Answer

I believe everyone goes through some kind of trauma or even abuse in some form at some point in their lives. It can be major or minor. How it effects a person can differ greatly as well.

Answer

Yes. Not every trauma is horrendous. 
Losing a grandparent or being bullied or even losing a pet is traumatic.

Answer

Everyone has their own definition of what their trauma is/was

Answer

Some people really do have a picture perfect childhood, but it also depends on each individual person's definition of trauma. Like my second cousins and them - they had a fantastic childhood. Went to good schools, lived in a fantastic area, travelled the world on holidays and they have wonderful parents and now they're in world class universities, they're well adjusted and extremely happy young adults. Literally nothing to cry over, to the average person. 
But that doesn't mean that they have never maybe been kicked out of a friendship group that maybe had ruined a certain portion of their school career, or they had their best friend move away, or something that still makes them sad when they think about it. 
An example of what some people deem traumatic and others might not, is the other day my husband was telling me that his sister phoned their mom in tears and shouting at her that she was such a bad mom.... Because my mother in law stopped making my sister in law sandwiches for lunch when she got to high school. I mean to me that's just ridiculous, but it's obviously something that's bothered my sister in law for so long she still feels the need to lash out about it in her 30s.

Answer

I think everyone has bad experiences that they will never forget but I wouldn’t call everything trauma.
