There are inherent challenges for people who are survivors of trauma. Whether it is physical, verbal, sexual, or emotional abuse, the challenges post-trauma are similar. I often hear people say, “I just experienced emotional abuse, which is not as bad as if it were physical” This is a misnomer, and unfair. There is no worse than, or lesser than. If I lose my left leg and you lose your right leg, is either of us less traumatized?
