The word ‘trauma’ has been cropping up in the news a lot lately, even Prince Harry has said he has undergone therapy to deal with the trauma surrounding his mothers death. But, the Medical Minefield team question if we should have to delve into our trauma in order to have good mental health. They talk to Emmy Brunner, psychologist and author of Find Your True Voice, who believes that mental health problems are rooted in trauma and we should talk about it, and speak to journalist Erica Crompton who argues that therapy focusing on her trauma has not allowed her to heal. The team also discuss whether the word ‘trauma’ is beginning to lose meaning with psychologist Dr Lucy Foulkes as she has concerns about the over-use of the term.
