I tend to agree with this. I have seen enough traumatized people dying young to suggest it is probable. Their coping mechanisms tend to be very unhealthy.

Maybe this is the beginning of acknowledging by professionals in all areas that hiding it all is having a huge cost on so many levels.

"When his team of researchers added trauma-related questions to a questionnaire that was given to 125,000 patients over two and a half years, there was a 35 percent reduction in doctor office visits in the subsequent year, and an 11 percent reduction in ER visits.

“The human and economic consequences of routinely asking and listening appear to be profound. Asking and listening is a rather powerful intervention.”
Just not hiding it anymore, burying it seemed to have made the difference.
