"Although we can't always choose what happens to us, we can always choose how to respond,"

This is just plain not true.

Trauma changes everything. The Fight/Flight/Freeze responses are autonomic. Which means you can’t always choose how to act when someone traumatizes you.

@sacwriter This. When even my reaction to trauma and triggers is used to blame me and belittle me. Not even good enough to react "right" to trauma/ triggers. Took me decades to being able to shut those people up. The voice inside still says it from time to time, and I'm still working on that.
