Hidden Brain · The Trauma Script · 25 Aug 2025 podcast

We began to report these findings in scientific journals and they were more or less ignored.

And I was young and I'm told that I had kind of a extremely young face.

So it was easy to dismiss.

This is just some young guy doing this research.

But over time, as we began to pile up the evidence,

the negative reactions began to happen, and particularly from the trauma world.

People in the trauma world would tell me, you know, you're a good researcher, but there's something wrong about what you're doing.

And therapists would come up to me if I'd given a public lecture and tell me, you know,

I'm sure you're a good scientist, but you're just wrong about this.

It's just wrong.

I know, and you're wrong.

And that happened for quite some years.

I'd say 15, maybe 20 years even, and it's slowed down a bit.

But oddly, there's been a revival of this idea in recent years, a revival of the idea that everybody is traumatized.

Well, it took me by surprise.

I think it's mostly in younger people.

Probably has something to do with the internet.

I know there are a lot of these cultural phenomenon like on TikTok, there's something called trauma dumping where people go on TikTok and tell their trauma stories.

And those are very popular sites when people do that.

So I don't know really besides that how this has come about, how this has been revived.
