Scott Barry Kaufman

not just attachment theory, but also, well, it's a very controversial thing to say that trauma is heritable. That's probably one of the most, if you want to not be a lot of people to like you at a cocktail party, tell them that trauma has a high heritability.

Okay. How do we cover this sensitively? Well, I think that in a lot of ways, trauma is the narrative that we tell ourselves about an experience that happened to us. This notion that trauma is stored in the body, I don't think is scientifically accurate. You know, the body keeps the scores like the number one. It's been on the New York Times bestseller list.

It's created a whole cold falling and has so much popularity. But I don't believe that's how the brain works. So our trauma story is stored in our brain. It's not stored in our body. What we have in our body, for sure, is survival stress. We have in our body lots of... We can obviously feel the stress involved with assaults, with various things that happen to us.

But the word trauma, that really is the narrative that we've cognitively and consciously put on a series of things. And you can see it change too. You can see situations where a person never thought they had trauma and then they go to therapy and then they get convinced by their therapist that that what happened was trauma, so then they changed their whole narrative.

So you can see how fluid our notion of traumatic experiences are. So when I say that trauma has a high heritability, well, it is interesting because there is research showing that people who have a genetic peculiarity towards the personality trait neuroticism do tend to see the world differently than people who are low in neuroticism. They tend to see threat everywhere.

Whereas people who score low in neuroticism don't tend to see the threat everywhere. You could have twins. Well, you could have siblings who are not twins. You could have siblings who don't share a lot of genes, not identical twins. And they both could have experienced the same exact thing in their childhood from their parenting style.

And one is like, I had a traumatizing childhood, and then you see this case. And then the other child is like, what are you talking about? We had such a great childhood. And it's like, well, what's the truth? In a lot of ways, the truth is in the eye of the beholder. And you also see that with attachment styles.
