Trauma dumper

A selfish prick who dumps their baggage onto other people especially when it’s not appropriate. A trauma dumper’s motive is often to gain sympathy or minimize other people’s traumas.

I made a Mother’s Day post and this trauma dumper commented, “imagine having a mom 😑”.

trauma porn

When a writer glorifies trauma in their writing, exaggerating aspects for the sake of angst.
Usually a writer thinks they are being deep and edgy when in actuality they are just disrespecting and glorifying trauma.

Ana: I just read this angst fanfiction, it had way too much trauma porn though, and it didn't even care to put a warning!
Bella: Damn that's horrible!

trauma dump

Trauma dumping is when someone unveils all of their traumatic experiences to someone else out of pity. Hoping that the other person will feel bad for them.

“Why would you cheat on me?”
“Well growing up I went through *traumatic example* so I’m sorry I’m like this now”
“Plz don’t trauma dump right now this has nothing to do with your past, you cheated on me.”

Trauma Contract

A trauma contract is where one person in a relationship (romantic or friendship) makes partner(s) sign a contract saying that they will not do certain things as a result of a previous toxic relationship. This is often linked with ptsd and paranoia, as trauma from the past could make one fear similar things happening again.

Maddie made her boyfriend sign a trauma contract that said he will never ignore her calls.

Trauma Center is a game serie made by Atlus. The game has its unique form of gameplay.You play as a doctor whose name is Derek Stiles, and you need to do sugeries for your patients. The gameplay is fluently and interesting, but also hard, you need to have both speed and accuracy(just like a real doctor). Later on you also need to deal with some kind of parasite which name is "Guilt", the appearance of them make the gameplay much harder. Currently,there are 4 games in this serie, which are Trauma Center:Under The Knife, Trauma Center: Under The Knife 2, Trauma Center: Second Opinion, Trauma Center: New Blood.
