Features: In this groundbreaking work, the author introduces a new issue that has yet to be formally named. Based on new scientific research and years of clinical and social experience, the author elaborates on the concept of "everyday shock"—the physiological and psychological responses triggered in people when faced with harm. This phenomenon is universal, occurring constantly and existing in every family and society. It is indeed a form of shock, profoundly affecting our bodies, minds, and spirits, regardless of whether our reactions are confusion, despair, or feigned courage. Through this book, the author teaches people how to face a series of harms they are experiencing or will experience with a positive attitude. How can parents respond to children who have witnessed too much violence? How can we comfort those enduring illness or facing death threats? What can we do for ourselves, our families, and our society? In this groundbreaking work, the author introduces a new issue that has yet to be formally named.
