Lower case “t” trauma is the water in which we swim.
As children, we experienced mild yet chronic adversity such as:
timeouts
sitting still at a desk
“because I said so”
“share your toys”
parents arguing
squelching our emotions
moving to a new town/city
homework assignments we hated
forced vegetable eating
We as a culture yearn for healing and processing of our pasts.
You can heal 1% today to get the ball rolling.
And inspire others.
That’s the real work.
