I think trauma-skepticism is responding to a very strong case for trauma. "Everyone must find their trauma." "I just started going to therapy, and I _had no idea_ I had so much unresolved childhood trauma." "My parents weren't emotionally fulfilling 100% of the time and that counts as trauma." etc. I'm being a bit flippant, but this view is pushed a LOT.
I think it's correct to push back against the hard case for the "past trauma construction of personality," however it's also ridiculous to suggest that real trauma does not exist and does not really leave a mark on people. In the general sense, this is a problem that nearly every ideological movement faces: in correctly noting the problems with the old view, they overcorrect and assume the old view must be full expunged rather than modified.
