I never said that trauma comes from suggestibility. Even for traumatized people you can make things worse by using their suggestibility and saying they are miserable, they get more miserable, what you said agree with that.

[1] might be implying what you claim but, whilst I'm no expert, I'm reasonably sure "dissociative states"[2] isn't a simple "becoming miserable".
