There was a discussion the other day about borderline shouldn't be treated as victims. Someone said, of course, they shouldn't be treated as just a victim, but it is also what happens to them. But trauma and paranoid is the chicken and egg thing again. For paranoid can caused by trauma. But if paranoid comes first, then the trauma narrative is unreliable. And there is no way to verify. The only thing you know is what you can observe to be happening right now.
