Childhood Trauma & Getting Lost in The Chaos of The World | Piers Cross

“The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe.” Albert EinsteinOver the past few months I have over indulged in the news coverage of the troubles in the middle east, the violence on the streets of the UK and the challenges of the world.And I started to lose perspective.I started to catastrophize.In today's video I talk about the research around negativity bias and how as humans we have a preponderance to focus more on the negative than the positive.I talk about how as trauma survivors, whether that be childhood trauma or boarding school, we are prone to seeing the glass as half full.We fulfil early childhood beliefs that – the world is not a safe place.I touch on the work of Stanford's Emma Seppala, the Dalai Lama and I share some tips for how to unplug and move back into stillness and centredness again.For my latest podcast talking about childhood trauma please visit: https://youtu.be/IFCFl3RccQ0Take care,Piers---Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems. He also runs online men's groups for ex-boarders, retreats and a podcast called An Evolving Man. He is also the author of How to Survive and Thrive in Challenging Times.
