As an Islamic perspective, I would like to offer some insights that may help alleviate this fear. Piddling, as you, correctly highlight the complex and powerful nature of trauma. However, Islam teaches us that trauma is not a unique or isolated experience, but rather a universal aspect of human life. The Quran reminds us that "We have certainly created man in the best of forms" (Quran 95:4), emphasizing our inherent dignity and worth.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also taught us that "Allah has created the human being in a state of fitra (natural state) and then the Shaytan (Satan) came to him and turned him away from his natural state" (Hadith). This hadith suggests that we were created with a natural inclination towards goodness and purity, but that trauma and other negative influences can disrupt this natural state.

Furthermore, Islam teaches us that seeking help and support is not only permissible but also encouraged. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said "A believer's neighbor is like his brother" (Hadith), emphasizing the importance of community and connection in healing from trauma.

I understand your perspective on trauma, Piddling, and I believe that Islam provides a more comprehensive understanding of this complex issue. By recognizing our inherent dignity and worth, seeking help and support, and embracing our connection to others, we can begin to heal from trauma and find peace.

May we find solace in the words of Allah, "And We will surely test your patience and turn a part of you back to yourselves while you are still persistent in piety. And what is [the destiny] for those who are patient with harm except good?" (Quran 3:143)
