Summary
Meg Arroll: Small traumas: when you don't know what the problem is, but somehow nothing is right
It's nothing big, nothing big... and you can't exactly put your finger on it, but... somehow you feel like you're missing something - like you're not loved enough, like you're not appreciated as much as you deserve. You have a wonderful family, a decent job (you still have a job, right?), real friends. You are not hungry, you have a roof over your head, you are warm, and all in all, you can say that you are doing pretty well. But somehow you're not quite... happy. And isn't happiness the goal that society imposes on us? Nothing particularly bad has happened to you in your life...that's the point: you've been taught to ignore small traumas, which over time have become almost invisible and have accumulated deep in your emotional core and add up like interest on a credit card. Eventually, this accumulation of psychological sediment begins to affect your well-being and – although it may not be an all-encompassing feeling (yet) – you feel its gravitational pull, filling you with fatigue, mild anxiety and a lack of self-confidence. The culmination of early childhood trauma should not be ignored because, if you are not careful, it can lead to mental and physical health problems. dr. Meg Arroll, a respected British psychologist, will introduce you to simple exercises and techniques that will help you become aware of your feelings and experiences of small traumas and turn them to your advantage. During this process, you will develop a psychological immunity that will protect you from the devastating effects of future major traumas. For all those who are trapped in the current of permanent melancholy, and don't know why.
