"trauma falls into another category"

it does indeed. but i merely point to EVERY OTHER FORM OF LIFE ON EARTH, for whom trauma either means your own being and synergistic environment can heal it, or you die. (note: healers and the like that existed within pre- and less- civilized cultures, were in fact part of that synergistic environment, their social grouping). the levels to which western medicine goes to save (and extend) HUMAN life AT ANY COST goes against the observed reality in the rest of the living world, where populations are essentially controlled by the environment. by learning how to overcome that "natural" order of lifeways, modern humans have made human population the most likely cause for the decimation of humans - and unfortunately, many other forms of life.

but that's just my opinion...
