A traumatic experience can strengthen and bring us closer to God if we choose to let Him help us. He only gives us what we can endure. Whatever is past our own physical endurance He will help us.
What we do with our own challenges is up to the individual - to make it a bad thing or something that will eventually make us better ourselves from the experience. He understands us better than we understand ourselves and if we choose to listen to His guidance (though it may not be what we want to hear) will help us through our difficult times.
As far as "allowing" experiences to happen to us - God is bound by physical and spiritual laws. If choices are made by others here on this earth that directly harm us - He can't take those choices away from others. Free agency is a great gift He has given us. He can however help us to overcome our afflictions if we ask and physically as much as possible try to help ourselves. "Faith without works is dead".
What a great question to post.

Why does traumatic experience happen. Because of what we choose and who we choose and the choices we make.
God allows us to make choices and by his grace and mercy we are not given what we deserve.
When does mental illness and suicide come into play. When we get caught up in something so long until the spirit of deception gets into your thinking.There is no way out.

Suffering can be an experience to be with Jesus the suffering one. The mentally ill are very much loved by God perhaps he loves them more than us healthy ones.
What was the grandness in the Cross of God?
It's the throne of God, the merciful and all loving one.

This is not an easy answer to accept but it is just what it is.God took use out of paradise because of a sin With all that god knows he knew eve would eat the apple and we would live in sin.With that said he was just giving us a chance not to mess up since we did now we all have to learn the hard way.Now I have a question that can confirm gods plan.Find one single person just one with high intellect and intelliugence that at some point in their life they didnt learn the hard way.We all must learn the hard way no pain no gain , its something we brought on ourselves but we deserve it honestly.Any one who comes off to you as a godly person ask how did they learn,but first ask yourself the same did you have to learn the hard way.

Some people would assert that Christianity itself is a mental illness. If that's true, what is the TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES that would trigger the outbreak of Christianity to malign an otherwise healthy individual?

This is another indication that there is no almighty god. But since you have nothing else to do in life, you and your friends are going to keep asking these type of questions which nobody can answer, instead of learning and getting involved in science or other useful aspects of life.

as quickly as we are asserting that God (Zeus) has a plan for each human beings, capacity that: the plan is difficulty-loose for each individual (each and every soul). what's the plan? To be gods (all of us). that could be a difficulty-loose plan, for everyone. yet a thank you to attain this purpose, is in our palms. it is the regulation of freedom. If somebody human chosen to be a thief, a homicide etc, he won't progression and he will delay lots to be a god. apart from, if a soul is undesirable in many reincarnation, rather of dealing with (front), he will bypass back and confront the threat, his soul to exting, return to 0.

go to Romans 5:3-4...it talks about trials and problems that we run into...and they can help us endure and build patience, experience and hope
also, go to 1 Peter 4:12-14, it talks about being glad in your sorrows because they can help us get closer to christ.
also, i think that times of trauma is a real test of our faith. In those horrible times we should ask God for the strength in getting through the situation, and not turn our backs on him.
"If God brought you to it. he will bring you through it"

There is a plan for each of us, but we must accept Jesus as our personal savior. Through prayer and obedience we can find our calling and walk in it.Many never turn to god, so they will not fulfill their destiny.
