I've been using trauma as an explanation for everything. Analyze my patterns and tell me: where trauma actually explains my behavior vs. where I'm using trauma as an excuse. Map every behavior I blame on trauma and separate: this is legitimately a trauma response (needs healing) vs. this is a choice I'm making (needs accountability). Then expose: at what point does trauma become a get-out-of-jail-free card I'm exploiting? When does my trauma become everyone else's problem to manage? Show me where I've turned trauma into identity and where I'm refusing to grow because trauma gives me permission to stay the same. Give me the line: here's where trauma explains you, here's where you're hiding behind it. Include: what I'm getting away with by citing trauma, where I need compassion vs. where I need accountability, and whether I'm healing from trauma or building a fortress with it.
