Trauma philosophy is an ongoing personal research project, exploring how thinking, experience, and trauma inform one another. The focus is on how trauma shapes perception, subjectivity, creativity, and our ways of relating — both to ourselves and to others.
Rather than presenting a closed system or fixed worldview, this site functions as my thinking environment: a place to archive, annotate, and connect ideas as they develop over time. Everything I share here draws on lived experience, and embodied encountering.
The site is intended for friends, peers and passersby, interested in reflective, trauma-informed perspectives on human experience. It's my playground for slow thinking and open questions, where ideas both take shape and stay on the move.
Welcome.
Warmly,
Alex Kiss
Trauma philosophy starts from the assumption that perception is not neutral. It is embodied, relational, and historically formed. What we see is inseparable from how we have learned to survive, make sense, and stay connected. Trauma is not an event that lives in the past, but an active structure in the present: a way of organising experience.
Wounds stick out. They ache, or leave numb scar tissue. They don’t show the whole picture—but they function as the raw edges of our experience. You can point at your wounds. You can’t pinpoint your wholeness.
Follow the aches, explore the fractures, see what emerges.
