“We all want to be normal. Life, even normal life, is arduous, demanding, and ultimately threatening. We all have to deal with it, and none of us really knows how. We are all traumatized by life, by its unpredictability, its randomness, its lack of regard for our feelings and the losses it brings. Each in our own way, we suffer.” LifeSufferingCommonEverydayTrauma Book:The Trauma of Everyday Life Source: The Trauma of Everyday Life

“The willingness to face traumas - be they large, small, primitive or fresh - is the key to healing from them. They may never disappear in the way we think they should, but maybe they don’t need to. Trauma is an ineradicable aspect of life. We are human as a result of it, not in spite of it.” ThinkingWayNeedsShouldHumansMayFacesResultsHealingKeysAspectTraumaDisappearSpiteWillingnessPrimitiveAspects Of Life Author:Mark Epstein
