“I had a good life. I never experienced trauma”

The #1 thing I hear from clients is how they ""never experienced anything THAT bad"" in their childhood- they chalk it up to how nothing traumatic happened but what really is the definition of trauma?

How can we determine what trauma truly is? Defining trauma from a humanistic lens gives us permission to validate the pain and emotions we may feel from a complex and nuanced childhood.
