According to Mark Wolynn, the author of <em>It Didn&#8217;t Start With You<\/em>, the key to finding the source of your inherited trauma is to identify the aspect of your life that causes you the most stress or discomfort\u2014your pain point.

This is your pain point. Maybe you suffer from panic attacks, an eating disorder, or an aching feeling of loneliness. Or maybe you feel like your friends take advantage of you, or your partner is never there when you need her, or your boss never recognizes your contributions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: If you struggle to pinpoint one particular issue that causes you distress, you might be among those who are averse to \u201ccomplaining.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/significant-results\/201706\/the-three-types-complaining\">Many factors influence whether and how often we acknowledge and verbalize our dissatisfaction and annoyance<\/a>, such as age and our desire to present ourselves positively. But, complaining about the purpose of solving a problem can lead to more freedom. To put yourself more at ease around identifying your pain point, remind yourself that this is your access to creating real, positive change.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve identified your pain point, Wolynn says to <strong>look for words and phrases that stand out as peculiar, emotional, or misplaced <\/strong>in the way you describe that problem.<strong> <\/strong>These words likely point to something unresolved in your past or your family\u2019s past.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you feel &#8220;suffocated&#8221; and &#8220;trapped&#8221; every time your partner wants to hug you, which is causing relationship difficulties. These powerful words and phrases indicate some kind of trauma surrounding past relationships. You might dig into your family history to discover that your aunt was strangled to death by her boyfriend when she was your age. She tried to run to safety, but she couldn\u2019t get out of the house in time. Now you are experiencing the terror your aunt endured even though you are in no danger, which is eroding the relationship you value most.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-qualifies-as-trauma\"><strong>What Qualifies as Trauma?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know what the cause of your inherited trauma is, you might be wondering if you can even <em>define<\/em> it as trauma. Do everyday stresses and complaints qualify as \u201ctrauma\u201d? Are we all traumatized, just to different degrees? Although Wolynn discusses the symptoms and sources of trauma, he doesn\u2019t define trauma or put any boundaries around what it includes. Let\u2019s examine others\u2019 views on this topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the American Psychiatric Association, trauma is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5371751\/\">\u201cactual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence\u201d<\/a>\u2014either experienced directly or as a witness. Some argue that this definition rightly circumscribes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-is-emotional-trauma\/\">definition of trauma<\/a> to include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/the-highlight\/22876522\/trauma-covid-word-origin-mental-health\">only the most severe and devastating experiences<\/a>. As a result, this encourages people to distinguish truly catastrophic and life-altering events from those that are merely unpleasant, thereby reducing a \u201cvictim mentality\u201d that leads people to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/feeling-helpless-in-life\/\">feel helpless<\/a>. This focused definition can also help people suffering from real trauma get the appropriate support and treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others, however, point out that such a restrictive definition overlooks the emotional causes of distress many people develop from non-life-threatening events, such as divorce or unfair accusations of abuse. Instead, they propose that we distinguish between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/trauma-and-hope\/201703\/different-types-trauma-small-t-versus-large-t\">\u201clarge T\u201d and \u201csmall t\u201d trauma<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-large-t-and-small-t-trauma\">&#8220;Large T&#8221; and &#8220;Small t&#8221; Trauma<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLarge T\u201d trauma would include life-threatening events such as kidnappings, acts of terrorism, and serious car collisions. \u201cSmall t\u201d trauma would encompass unpleasant events that are <em>not<\/em> life-threatening. Nevertheless, they cause some degree of hopelessness and compromise our ability to cope with stress. Examples include infidelity, divorce, and financial strain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although a single \u201csmall t\u201d trauma may not alter someone\u2019s life, pain points can develop from <em>many <\/em>\u201csmall t\u201d traumas that significantly interfere with someone\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/emotional-health-and-well-being\/\">emotional health<\/a>. Those who support differentiating between \u201csmall t\u201d and \u201clarge T\u201d trauma say this distinction helpfully acknowledges the very real consequences that stem from stress and overwhelm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of the definition of trauma, it\u2019s important to note that not all catastrophic or unpleasant events affect people the same way. For example, a natural disaster may deeply traumatize one person. However, another person may emerge from the same experience relatively unaffected. How a person responds depends on several factors, including their beliefs, expectations, past experiences, and the level of support in their lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do your parents or grandparents have a history of mental illness?
