so i know that trauma affects each person differently, and that a situation might traumatize a person while it doesn’t traumatize another. but why is this? is it based on brain chemicals, personality, experience, or a culmination of all three? perhaps something else? i’m very curious what people think.


example: my siblings and i were all abused by my uncle, yet for some reason i’m the only one with PTSD and other disorders. why is this?
