TW! I was bullied multiple times at school and I found school extremely stressful and I was followed by one of my bullies and his brothers for some months but I don’t know if that would be considered trauma or not
Bullying and stalking can definitely cause trauma. However, it is possible to have non-traumatic plurality while having a trauma history. In other words, the trauma isn't the direct cause of your headmates forming
