The severity of pain of a life event changes with the skilld of a person. 2 children playing and one starts crying because the other broke their toy, is that less intense than an adult breakfing up with the lifelong partner?

The answer I thought was yes and over time came to realize that it's probably no.

Given that, what you perceive as traumatic is not the same for another person
