🧠 The Invisible Wounds That Shape Our Journey Personal trauma is not just a “life drama” or an excuse for excessive self-compassion. And it is definitely not weakness – it is biology hidden between synapses, shaping our thoughts, feelings and reactions to the world. They are the brain’s responses to overwhelming experiences, shaping thoughts, emotions and behaviours in ways we don’t always see — because not all scars are visible.

🧠 Dealing with Collective Shocks Wars, attacks, natural disasters, massacres or tragedies that dominate the headlines — all these episodes leave marks that go beyond statistics. They reach something deeper: the collective nervous system.When the world seems to collapse, the brain reacts as if danger were right at the door. And even those who have not experienced the event directly can feel the effects — anxiety, anger, apathy, confusion.

🧠 Lidando com Choques Coletivos Guerras, atentados, desastres naturais, massacres ou tragédias que ganham as manchetes — todos esses episódios deixam marcas que vão além das estatísticas. Eles atingem algo profundo: o sistema nervoso coletivo. Quando o mundo parece desabar, o cérebro reage como se o perigo estivesse à porta. E mesmo quem não viveu o evento diretamente pode sentir os efeitos — ansiedade, raiva, apatia, confusão.
