Traumagenic multiplicity is a form of multiplicity that was caused entirely or largely by trauma in this physical world (as opposed to non-physical world trauma, which is exotraumagenic. The label was coined by The Lunastus Collective for any plural to use.[1] It is an origin label, stemming from the combination of the word "trauma" and the prefix "-genic", meaning "produced or caused by". It should not be confused with the psychological label "traumagenic", which is used to describe mental disorders or harmful mental health symptoms that are post-traumatic in nature.[2]
Traumagenic systems may or may not be currently disordered, and may or may not have Dissociative Identity Disorder, Other Specified Dissociative Disorder, or other dissociative disorders. Systems that could theoretically qualify for one of the diagnosable dissociative disorders may decide against pursuing diagnosis due to distrust/dislike of the medical system, insufficient financial reasons, job security, stigma, or any other personal reason.
