• Trauma is still trauma psychologically to the person who experienced it. The point being made isn’t how it’s dealt with, but how people put degrees on trauma. Like a person suffering a traumatic event in a war is worse than trauma of being bullied as a child. The way these events affect the mind is the same; trauma is trauma.

    The difference between the rich person who can seek therapy and the poor person who can’t is that the poor person experiences continued trauma caused by the system that keeps them from affording proper care.

      …and therefore, what the poor goes through is something different to what the rich one goes through.

      Yes, that’s what I’ve been saying.

      I agree. To add to your comment, not everyone who goes through therapy is able to get rid of the trauma. When it comes to mental health issues, money is often not enough.
