Why people get stuck can be because of TRAUMA
Psychological trauma (according to World Health Organisation) affects a staggering 70.4% of the population worldwide.
These people have experienced emotionally traumatic events that impact on their everyday stress levels and ability to cope.
Even if you strip out war and natural disaster crisis zones in the world from these stats, the levels of childhood and adult trauma are still high in our society. Trauma sets in when we are overwhelmed. Gabor Mate argues that we all experience trauma at some level big T or little t.
Trauma drains the colour out of someone's day and impacts on learning, joy and thriving. -
