Synopsis: The past year has been ROUGH. It has pushed so many of us right to our absolute limits.If, you have found yourself:- Not being able to sleep - Wanting to cry all time - Being terrified of everything changing- Trying to understand what has happened to the worldThen this is the book for you.In 2020, while it seemed that the world was falling apart, psychologist Dr Emma Kavanagh began bringing together the psychological research on the impact of trauma, what it means, and what it does for us - the good and the bad. Within the psychological literature, she found important clues about why trauma and stress are not the life sentences they sometimes seem to be, and, most importantly, how they can often lead to growth beyond the despair.This is a book about why it's ok to struggle, why it's ok to fall apart, and why it's ok to be broken. Because, once we give ourselves permission to be broken, we can put the pieces back together. And we can come back, stronger than we were before.
