Its interesting that it took psychotherapy a long time to come around to the understanding that a sizable chunk of what troubles us in our minds is the direct consequence of trauma.
I'm thinking of everything from:

Nowadays, it's considered a pretty reasonable belief that a significant amount of the suffering of otherwise healthy adults is the consequence of earlier trauma.
