More than ever we are able to conceptualise that childhood trauma can even stem from events that are deceptively benign. The language our parents or caretakers used in order to communicate with us as children, can literally shape the plasticity in our brains. It is so important that we are growing in awareness of this, however on certain platforms (i.e. TikTok, Instagram) we may begin to question: how healthy is it to pathologise everyday behaviours?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00d4\u00c7\u00ffTrauma&#8217; in its most basic definition is an extremely distressing or disturbing experience. Obviously trauma can manifest in many different forms: physical, psychological, romantically, sexually. Platforms such as TikTok have video challenges circulating &#8211; \u00d4\u00c7\u00fffinger-down&#8217; challenges &#8211; of very normal human behaviours which then feature a diagnosis at the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, this video which is a \u00d4\u00c7\u00fffinger-down&#8217; challenge which gives a diagnosis of severe PTSD, which can be viewed by clicking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=P6fUBGC86zk\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=P6fUBGC86z<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> In the video, it describes being an \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffintrovert&#8217; or having a \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffmessy room&#8217;  as symptoms for a serious mental disorder. Although her intent was probably harmless, it is rather the impact of how platforms like TikTok engage with trauma that is unhealthy. Misinformation on trauma is so easily widespread, which leads to other people misdiagnosing themselves. At worst, it&#8217;s become normalised to trivialise trauma. Minor mishaps or embarrassing moments get labelled as trauma which can be invalidating for those who actually experience it.<br><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"177\" height=\"252\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/VBfycIXhJDgOgPsjgfd1WMcrMF0shZlbP_jEEvTG4ZWheIz9x-4z4eoxORZGeuiV8Z_hQU0ByH_ypASZ6OpGwGE0p_50hJl5KSTdw9SBz5sJQhkIqwX2qPxKQ6q5Kpd4pOFF_Ekr\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"177\" height=\"251\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-TSM3JTX5xBexpes_gc5sA7EHiSCCGNByrKiETJ6tM0Zn_ZVYd3fqHQ7KzoeSxD_7WsFg__R50jA54m0kcBF6seQldTMMpH3JmcEIIajy7c2wCtuX1ftTtYd3Qo98mqDF191PRNC\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"177\" height=\"252\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/TZb106dBHjLn3NBHYFpqgp7y3fyl_n3Gpo4bNa3O2vMYm4RrruuTxtPyi72YwH0Crexr1KJ8by-7MmH5bvKpDYOChfwIIzu2cTnd4iVr3Zb51_qBzC0YDW6O5spqWfp-DxAZkHTN\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can appreciate the sentiments of \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffa problem shared is a problem halved.&#8217; Especially when it is regarding certain experiences that not everyone can understand. It is nice to talk to people who have shared the same hardships as yourself, and it must be said there can be an amusing comradery when talking to others about your experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However there is a fine line, and an element of competition begins to creep in, it feels like it can become \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffI&#8217;m more traumatised than you and here&#8217;s why.&#8217; This is nothing new, anyone else who was present like myself on the dark ages of Tumblr has seen this all before. Moving forward, we need to understand why we have a desire to pathologise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By Phoebe Bowers <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Image from goodtherapy.org <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For resources and help on trauma visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngminds.org.uk\/professional\/resources\/addressing-trauma-and-adversity\/?gclid=CjwKCAiAv_KMBhAzEiwAs-rX1HybKK-K9UWTOGZQNV2n73Nk6XTTiUl6MDL3atJovuAAhiyWbIyenBoCZ6UQAvD_BwE\">Addressing Trauma and Adversity | Mental Health Resources | YoungMinds<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the age of social media more and more resources have been made available online surrounding \u00d4\u00c7\u00fftrauma.&#8217; These educational tools [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":650,"featured_media":30667,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[6664,96,1770,2913,6663],"class_list":["post-30666","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","tag-gen-z-2","tag-quench","tag-social-media","tag-student-media","tag-trauma"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A Cult of Trauma: is \u00d4\u00c7\u00fftrauma&#039; overused in the age of social media?
