Hey Dr Wallenfang. I’m a Psyd student studying trauma and I’ve been reading a lot of Levinas and Marion. Do they address the topic of relational trauma? I know levinas talks about the trauma of responsibility, but I’ve been wondering how they would talk about someone who’s been abused and the trauma experienced from that? It would be a trauma not associated with the Good in that sense but with evil may e? That seems to me a different kind of trauma I haven’t seen in their work yet.
