Tiny Traumas

When little things have big impacts. The book is for anyone who feels that they’re sleepwalking through life, looking for answers to negative emotions and the tools to begin living the life they want.
Dr Meg Arroll has a unique way of pinpointing how you’re feeling but have never been able to articulate. This book is for those who don’t always feel quite OK, but don’t think they have the ‘right’ to therapy or professional help. This book validates feelings of anxiety, detachment and self-sabotage and guides you towards finding the solutions which allow you to live the life you want. It will finally tell people why they feel so ‘meh’ when nothing in particular is ‘wrong’. This is the hinterland in between mental wellness and illness, where you’re not quite symptomatic enough to receive a diagnosis or mental health care, but certainly aren’t flourishing or bossing life - all caused by small yet cumulative everyday traumas. These are the experiences in life that don’t make the headlines, and many people feel guilty about discussing what seems unworthy of attention or compassion. But it is possible to look at these experiences and consequences, at the little t trauma manifestations that present on the most regular basis, and give people a pathway towards a life less ‘meh’ so that they can start to flourish.
