Traumaste

Traumaste generally means the trauma in me recognizes and honors the trauma in you; it occurs when someone with symptoms of trauma witnesses someone else exhibiting the same symptoms and realizes they each share a traumatic history without the other person telling them about it.

When Michelle told Lisa how afraid she was to be alone on an elevator with a man, Lisa responded with, “traumaste,” letting Michelle know Lisa also had a similar fear stemming from a traumatic incident with a man in her past.
