dennikez: do you know if there's any way to discern whether or not something was traumatic ?,

:

how long ago did it happen? if recent, wait. if not, does it still affect you now? If not, no (unless it affected you most of your life but not anymore). if so, it could very well be. especially if you get flashbacks or nightmares or have fears associated with the experience.
Hope this helps??
