To ask what is actually achieved through telling someone to be "grateful" for their trauma ?

What if a traumatic event is genuinely, just well, traumatic and upsetting?

who said that and in what context?

Huh? Who's coming out with this?
Not something I've ever been told.

Agree with pp. I have never heard it said people should be grateful for trauma?

Can you explain what was said and about what? It's a very odd thing for anyone to say to someone who's been through a traumatic experience.

Mad

Context?
