Emotional Processing

 

 

"most people successfully process the overwhelming majority of the disturbing events that occur in their lives"
Rachman 1980




 

"it is as if the body has a second immune system, an emotional system, devoted not to physical protection but protection from emotional hurt and trauma" 
Baker 2003

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mrs R S at the end of a course of psychological therapy:
"Before I wanted everything to be perfect, nearly every day I was wanting to stay on this happy level all the time.  I didn't want to appear out of control to anyone else - angry, unhappy.  I'm not going to let this bother me - this 'nothing bothers' me exterior.  Now I've come to the regrettable conclusion that ups and downs are normal"
