Historical definitions of childhood trauma, like ACEs, often miss subtle experiences, leading many to overlook their trauma due to perceived privilege or indirect abuse.
Traditional frameworks like ACEs have some limitations in capturing all childhood trauma experiences.Many struggle to identify trauma due to subtlety, non-parent abusers, or perceived privilege.
I’ll talk about those limitations but first, let's discuss the other dominant way most people historically diagnosed childhood maltreatment experiences which was through The subtlety of certain experiences. For instance, being raised by a well-meaning but suicidally depressed mother may not be seen as “neglect” by someone. Thefather may be hard to spot as “abuse” or something that created “harm to the survival” of the individual.
And piggybacking on that comment, another reason I found why people couldn’t or wouldn’t see their experience “counting” as childhood trauma was they viewed the privilege they had also experienced as a neutralizer of the experience. Comments like, “when he came home, but we had food to eat and summer vacations, so it couldn’t have counted as trauma, right?”
