Current Events > Do you think overcoming psychological trauma is easy?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Also at what point do you draw a line for people blaming behaviours on traumatic experiences?

The issue is there is no Vulcan mind meld.

Is even the person who has had the worst life ever responsible for their fear and anger issues? Yes.
Is even the person who's had pretty blessed life going to have behaviors that they developed without total fault of their own? Yes.

Hell, I've been so depressed for so long but even so we can't put a thermometer on me and then on a mentally well person and compare just how bad I am or just what I need. As far as I know in theory everybody else could be doing way worse than be but also be much stronger of will. I doubt it, but I can never "prove" my depression is real, or it's effects on me.

It really depends on the person. I know people who have seen some messed up things and it sincerely doesn't impact them. I have a friend who is traumatized by the smallest thing. Everyone is different.
Where do I draw the line? Probably when your behavior starts to hurt people. To be honest though I keep my circle small, and I tend to keep my comments about others to myself.

Things that have happened to me as an adult have been generally very easy to get over..

But some shit that happened as a kid just permeates my existence and it takes a lot of will power to push through it.

But I guess it's easier to trim a branch than it is the root.

There is definitely a limit. When people act out, it's a cry for help. It usually means they are trying to make other people feel as they do; Helpless. So you help the person, take them to counseling, or some kind of rehabilitative service. But if they keep acting out, it usually indicates self destructive behaviour, like they don't see themselves as being worth saving. This is the limit for most people, they will either cut the person loose from their lives. Or they will force them to be institutionalised for their own protection. Sometimes you have to help person regardless if they want it, or decide if your sanity can no longer bear the burden.

No I was stung by wasp at a young age. Also fell from a height at a young age. I have two fears. Wasps and heights and never been able to fully conquer either. Ive gotten better at dealing with it but its still there.

No.

Imean. For some it's easy for others not. Depends on the trauma, the person and who they have around them partly. Theres not just one answer to this. Theres so many.

All very reasonable answers.
