"Trauma issues"

wynneMember

So, my T isn't big into the DSM-IV thing. Something about everyone being different, it being pathologizing, and stuff I didn't have a chance to ask about. I intend to ask him what he meant, of course. But when I finally worked up the courage to ask what he thought might be a problem for me, he mentioned four areas that he saw being issues, and one of them was "trauma issues."

I know that you all are much more experienced - I even bet you can go into therapy and name some of your issues yourself! All I knew was I hadn't left the house for a while, other than to work.

What kinds of things could I read or use to figure out what "trauma issues" means? Clearly, asking/talking to my therapist is one big one, and I'm planning to ask him the same question. But like I said in my intro, I don't get to see him often or for long, so I'm interested in figuring a lot out on my own, to use the time well. Thoughts?
