intergenerational trauma

An extremely up-your-butt way of saying “parental abuse.”
Last semester, my professor wouldn't stop talking about intergenerational trauma and what a terrible childhood she had because her mom didn’t buy her a car in high school.

Trauma Slut

A trauma slut is someone who, either actively or passively, becomes the go-to person for friends, colleagues, or family members to offload their emotional baggage or traumatic experiences. This individual often exhibits a unique blend of empathy and resilience, enabling them to absorb and respond to these intense emotional disclosures without being overwhelmed. Whether it's a heart-wrenching breakup story, workplace drama, or family feud, the trauma slut is the one everyone turns to for a sympathetic ear and a shoulder to cry on.

Religious Trauma

Religious Trauma Syndrome is a medical disorder characterized by symptoms similar to depression, anxiety, and AVPD. Religious Trauma is caused by bad experiences with toxic and controlling religions and (especially) religious people.

With the steady but noticeable decline of religion around the world, in addition to poor mental health in atheists and teens/young adults, Religious Trauma has begun to gain traction and is slowly being taken more seriously, although it's still seldom brought up and has yet to be officially recognized.

People with Religious Trauma usually become "angry atheists" - people who are absolutely opposed to all forms of religion and extremely hostile towards religious people.
Religious Trauma is a very serious disorder that does not get enough attention.
