The number of ways in which trauma and spirituality are conflated is probably a result of trauma pushing people to spirituality to cope.
Curious: what do you mean by "won't own their own pain"? I feel I'm seeing this play out in some people, but not sure if it's the same thing.

This prompting unhelpful "help" for others, lack of regard for those people's feelings (because they're putting their own there) etc.?
