When bad things happen to us or around us, we can take a while before we get past that overwhelming pain and feel safe again.
What are your personal strategies to speed your recovery in case of traumatic experience in life? Nobody can be really prepared for such situations, but simply knowing that h
ealing from trauma is possible, as well as moving on in life, can make a huge difference. 
Our awareness of this adaptive quality within each one of us can help build our personal and social resilience.​ Knowing that we can heal trauma makes us more prone to look for positive solutions and to bounce back from any negative event faster. 
Traumatic are those extremely stressful events that destroy your sense of security and make you feel helpless in the world that is frightening to you.

Emotional intelligence is a term that is quite widely used. Have you ever been told that you are too negative? Have you noticed that people are running away from you on the corridors at work? If you are a person who is often grumpy, cynical or pessimistic in your communication with others, then yes, people will start avoiding you when they can.  
For most of us it is extremely unpleasant to be around someone who uses words that provoke negative emotions in every occasion they find. Such behavior is destructive to those around you, and especially harmful for you.
 We all have those negative thoughts arriving from time to time. They can be turned against ourselves, our own performance at work, in relationships, or against others, events, and anything we can possibly imagine. The most important difference is in the intensity and duration of those thoughts, which are usually low and brief for people who keep the balance on a positive side of life. 
What also makes a difference is the processing of information - from the first thought that occurs to you about something, to pinning down what that really means to you. The point when you make a decision to put yourself or someone else down, or to make space for a 'but' sentence is crucial for you to learn about - when you'd like to feel more satisfied with your life.
