World Wide Willard, and studio guest Ronnie Wells reveal three ways men can identify unresolved trauma in their lives. You may be dealing with unresolved trauma if you:
1. Often bring up the same stories of past traumatic or hurtful events in your life.
2. Are angry all of the time and easily annoyed.
3. Deal with feelings of shame, lack of confidence or self-worth.
1. Keep it real and in perspective. Accept that the desired outcome was not reached. Don't romanticize, make excuses (sugarcoat) or explain the failure away. Transversely, understand that there are no true failures; either you win or you learn.
2. Analyze and mobilize! Evaluate what went right, what did not go as planned and what you can do to create a plan of action moving forward.
3. Go for it! Try it again. Risk it again. Soon enough, moving past failures and disappointments won't sting as much, as you will recognize them as components that are a part of the process.
