A breathwork guide was telling me about "reliving my birth trauma" and I realized why this shit bothers me: it's a New Age spin on Calvinist Original Sin doctrine, aka the dumbest part of
. We're all born traumatized, doomed to eternal but incomplete "healing".

can concretely & directly walk (baby) sensory imprinting with right method, clear as day, with e.g. meditation & then label some structural patterns trauma & others not, in part by functional downstream effects but yeah can be thought-stopping label w/ knock-on (societal) harm

and it can be quite explanatory. when do content-preserving refactor/reinterpretation, plus propagation through system, the adult behaviors change.

I'm differentiating between two pretty similar things; learned behavior as a response to pain is not the same as 'trauma' in this particular way I'm using it (though I'm happy to use another word of that works). I mean the way people use the word.
