Trauma seems to be a buzzword at the moment in a field already plagued by unsubstantiated pseudoscience. I’ve heard so many people not only insist that ADHD is caused by trauma, but that certain types of guided meditation or therapy can “release trauma stored in the body”, and dopamine detox can treat ADHD. People not only pass off this woo as if it were proven fact, but get defensive when you ask for peer reviewed evidence backing it up. I worry that buzzworthy pseudoscience is going to be a very serious problem as psychedelic assisted therapy becomes legal.
