“Have you ever felt like you can’t quite put your finger on it because it’s not anything big, but you know something is definitely off? More than likely you’re experiencing what psychologist Dr. Meg Arroll calls ‘Tiny T’ traumas, which impact the way we view ourselves and the world and can have detrimental effects on our health and well-being. Emotional blunting, microaggressions, family relationships, childhood humiliations, toxic positivity, and gaslighting are all examples of Tiny T traumas. Yet so many of us feel guilty for even mentioning them, let alone seeking help. You may be feeling completely overwhelmed and exhausted by life, going through the motions yet never feeling truly OK. You don’t have to live like this. With more than twenty years of research and therapeutic experience, Dr. Meg Arroll has developed crucial strategies and a revolutionary framework, starting with her three-step AAA approach: Awareness: Discover your unique constellation of Tiny T traumas. Acceptance: See how these cumulative traumas show up in your life and start processing them. Action: Start taking the steps to actively create the life you desire. Using case studies, practical exercises, and journal prompts, Tiny Traumas validates feelings of anxiety, detachment, and self-sabotage, guiding you toward finding the solutions that will allow you to finally live the life you want.”-Cover
