Trauma and Transformation

By Stefan J. Malecek, Ph.D.

During living life, everyone takes on the burden of unexpressed emotions, regrets and missed opportunities around which may develop a kind of psychic scar tissue which might eventually lead to emotional and psychological trauma.

My experience (garnered from over fifty years of working in the mental health industry) is that healthy expression of these suppressed injuries is perhaps the only path to true mental health. Trauma feeds psychopathic business practices, abuse, war, poverty and racism.

These are accepted as a normal part of daily life in a society that uses individuals for profit and generates addiction and personality disturbances as a "side effect." It is in dedication to this healing expression and to clearing and understanding the shame that underlies it that any individual may become the individual that he or she was always meant to be. This book is dedicated to all those brave souls willing to clear ancient shame, heal their hearts and souls while seeking effective treatment of traumatic stress

INTRODUCTION

.E ven if you cannot define it; even if you can describe it—you have experienced shame. Let us not forget that small emotions are the great captains of our lives and that we obey them without knowing it once said Vincent Van Gogh.

Everyone gets shamed some time in their lives. Most of us do not remember the earliest incidents. Almost every adult remembers times when he or she one has been shamed. There is a reason for that.

The import of shame is so strong that
