Yeah, I can’t stand them. The trauma gave you chronic illness types.
Look, logically I’m sure there could be a connection between trauma and chronic illness. You can find an connection anywhere with enough funding for research. And after all, these things all happen within your body. It’s not really the possibility of a connection that I hate.
It’s the people I hate.
This connection is only ever used to blame.
“Just heal your trauma and you won’t be sick anymore.” Those types.
I’d have more patience for it if it translated into thoughtful care and support outcomes.
It’s much like how I hate the individualisation of stress. Most things that stress me aren’t personal, they’re systemic factors. Why not go fix the broken parts of the world instead of blaming me for having a reasonable reaction to something broken?
