"going to the gym" feels really tainted for me lately
"oh cool another set of constrained actions that I have to perform in a specific way, no fucking thank you"

Have you written anything about your ‘skepticism’? Could you elaborate a bit

not yet, but a post is brewing in the background
uh but generally im a little sus that (at least some) trauma isn't uh... 'real' in some sense? or that the 'trauma' frame isn't very useful for processing stuff?
Hmm yeah, trauma is a loaded term. You can substitute it with “psychological wounds” or “fear-based conditioning”.
But the "trauma" framing gives us access to unique perspectives, psychological tools, and healing modalities that can help us overcome the conditioning
