Why do some people recover from trauma and others don't? No two people are exactly the same and no two people experience even very, very similar experiences the same. The whole point of trauma is not what happened, but how it affected you. And since we're all different, the way things affect us are different. So, we need to have enough compassion to say that different people are affected differently. In fact, you see this all the time. You can have a family, a large family, many, many, many siblings and they grew up in the same situation. They grew up literally in the same house and they were all affected differently by it. Some were barely affected, some were profoundly affected and that's because everyone is different. But, the upshot of all of this is that once you do realize how you were affected, then obviously it becomes your responsibility to heal from it. There should be no judgement about the fact that it affected you in the first place.
