The psychological stress that we experience every day can seriously upset our psychological balance. There are a number of simple tricks that will help to avoid the negative consequences of psychological trauma and restore self-confidence.
Why is it necessary to overcome everyday psychological trauma?
Psychological trauma can cause significant harm to a person and radically affect his life. And this harm is usually more than harm from physical injuries.
We experience psychological trauma, for example, when we experience
- loneliness,
- rejection by other people
- a failure.
The experience of these conditions, and it is subjective, temporarily violates our psychological health. And during these periods you need to treat yourself with attention, care and understanding. During these periods it is not worth making important decisions. All decisions need to be postponed until our psychological health is restored.
People tend to underestimate the importance of everyday emotional (psychological) stress. When a person is faced with a psychological problem, people around him usually advise him not to pay attention or to “go away, ” which is the same thing in this case. But these tips are harmful. After all, when a person broke his arm, we do not advise him to “score” and “go to unwind”. We make sure that he heals the hand so that the bone grows together correctly, then we give time for rehabilitation. And only after recovery we offer to give a new burden on the hand. The same should be done in the case of psychological trauma.
When we experience psychological trauma, we cannot objectively perceive reality and, therefore, the decisions we make are erroneous. But they define our life in the same way as any other decisions.
For example, when a person experiences loneliness, it seems to him that others care less about him than it really is. He can decide that people do not need him, that others do not care about him. Although these feelings are entirely dictated to him by psychological trauma. When a person has failed, it is easy for him to conclude that from now on he will not achieve anything, and will not even try anymore. Although in reality he should have given himself time to recover from negative experiences, and only then should he decide whether he should try again or not.
According to Guy Vinca, it is for this reason that many people act below their potential. They make important decisions regarding themselves, their actions, their future in a state of psychological trauma, and these decisions are not adequate to reality.
