Exposure to trauma can singlehandedly determine one's experience in navigating their environment, building relationships, experiencing and/or perpetrating domestic/ sexual violence, and contribute to serious health problems. Nadine Burke says if perfectly.

And I also think that that lens, the trauma lens, is so valuable because it allows you to see that there is no such thing as an evil person – people are acting from their own pain. That’s a really important lens to have, one of compassion, because so much of our society is about ‘othering’ other people and blaming other people, but understanding trauma lets us see that everyone has a reason for how they’re acting.
