The ‘trauma makes you stronger’ misconception is the one i hear the most nowadays.
What doesn’t help situation is a constant glorification of trauma in social media and even young adult books, for example. Nowadays almost every young person wants to have some kind of a traumatic experience or romanticises people who’s gone through them. Whereas in reality, it’s very devastating and shocking, and is something you wouldn’t wish for anyone.

I think it’s important to be mindful of how we engage with such content and prioritise self-care. But, it’s crucial to remember that actual trauma, experienced in real life, often requires professional support and healing. Both are significant in their own ways, and self-care remains essential for both.
