They are the exceptions, that's why we talk about them.

No, they're not. Learn some history. You'll see profiles of many people have that pathway.
You'll also see virtually everyone 300 years ago was exposed to things which would be considered traumatic today. It's how we evolved.
We've got a bad theory of trauma and resilience.
There is a circular definition here. If we define trauma in terms of harmful outcomes, it's bad by definition, but that's arguing semantics and not psychology. The slipperiness comes in when we switch definitions mid-paragraph.
