Trauma can begin in the womb, and being born is traumatic. First separation from primary caregiver. Strep throat. So it can be normal life, but we focus on that which we vividly recall. And focusing on that can become inflicting self-trauma. A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, as the saying goes.
