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

An Evolving Man Podcast

“The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe.” Albert Einstein

Over 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.

Take care,

Piers
