It really is amazing how different peoples' levels of sensitivity are. One person's trauma is another's triviality.

To the more sensitive of the two "suck it up!" really isn't spectacularly helpful advice. If they've lived a sheltered life and this is the worst pain they've ever experienced then it's still the worst pain they've ever experienced!

Maybe see a naturopath or something? Doctors can tend to be more focussed on treatment of symptoms than of causes. Or find a doctor that isn't?
