jaybrendansmith is talking specifically about childhood trauma not any trauma that happens in childhood.
> But not childhood trauma...that makes you weaker
I have only seen "childhood trauma" defined and used as something that has lasting impact. That definition likely comes from studies that study trauma that happens in childhood and how it can have a lasting impact.
Regardless of where it comes from that is how the phrase is typically used.
It would be nice if the field came up with better terms or a better scale that separated out the different traumas by lasting impact, but my assumption is that if it was easy to come up with that kind of scale it probably would have already happened, here is hoping it is easy and it is low hanging from some soon to come along phd student though.
The hazard I'm pointing at, though, is that this will be very individual. And what is a difficult thing to overcome for some kids, will be trivial for others. And seemingly flat out impossible for others, still.
Sure that is true of any trauma physical or otherwise. It is always some part genetic and some part environment. I assume just like for other areas we have a clear picture of a narrow subset of factors that is clearly genetic and some is clearly environment, but we do not have a clear picture on the majority of factors yet.
