Yes! Yes! Thank you for seeing this. So much of what I read online is so obviously a trauma response, especially from Americans. Is it a coincidence that the first latch-key kids invented social media? Is it a surprise that the most militant country in the world also spent 80 years with nuclear weapons pointed at them? Is it a surprise that a pioneering nation that scraped by to survive the wilderness is now wholesale exploiting and destroying it? Both individually and culturally, in small ways and big, trauma is the leading cause of all these problems. If only we took a moment to heal, to get therapy, hell, to even acknowledge our trauma, what an amazing world that would create!
