I have trauma from being forced to write things down because I had a progressively worsening tremor in my childhood. It doesn’t sound that bad and truely it wasn’t the worst trauma someone can experience, but I still have a very physical reaction to being made to fill out forms quickly where my hands shake wildly. It makes me wonder if trauma just doesn’t respect the intensity of the experience and it’s more of result of how we form memories, I definitely know people who’ve had more difficult lives who don’t have this.
