Given the end of the holidays and the ongoing struggles in our world, I found this useful:

"In times of sustained anguish, empathy is a recipe for more distress, and in some cases even depression. What we need instead is compassion."

Feeling other people’s pain is not the best way to help them — or yourself.

One in five of us struggle to cope with everyday smells, sounds and images. Rather than a weakness, this extreme sensitivity could be a strength in everything from the pandemic to the climate crisis

I just came across a wonderful blog from ASU. A couple of the stories that I read were powerful stories of trauma transformation. Enjoy!

Transformations is an online magazine of narrative essays focused on transformative, life-changing experiences and events, both personal and societal. Transformations is a media project of the Narrative Storytelling Initiative at Arizona State University.
