You state "Psychological trauma is nothing more than how we measure our life experiences to those around us." Traumas are emotional and psychological wounds that are the result of a single event, or a series of (inter-)related events. Your generalization totally ignores the deep impact on a human's neuro-biology that a trauma will cause. There are a whole spectrum of traumatic experiences and the mental/emotional severity that accompanies each will differ according to each individual's coping skills, level of resilience and also often the quality of their support system to get the right kind of help when needed.
I specify "the origin", not a deeper analysis. Also, I am not ignoring any of that. I actually explain how these unfold.
Healing the damage of traumas often require a good deal of emotional / cognitive reconditioning work.
This is some over-generalising rhetoric.We both know it rarely works. Veterans know this the best. Psychotherapy is more or less social engineering. You just have to believe a different form of narrative.
Your definition characterizes trauma as though all that's required for it to go away is for the individual to stop comparing themselves to others and that's it, the problem is solve.
Actually I am not implying that. Even if I did, I consider it impossible for one to stop comparing themselves to others.
To paraphrase a guy who really gets it, 'there's no problem that in the world that human ingenuity, applied properly, can not solve. '
Much like most of your statement above, you are applying rhetorics. You are are not debating properly any of my points. You are talking "politically'.
