yeah for sure, “being traumatic” is not an inherent property of a type of experience! it’s about what is too fast, too confusing, too hard to digest for a given person, and that can vary dramatically
i grew up in house full of combat vets, often men who were standing next to each other when injured. one could be deeply long-term traumatized and the other relatively fine
