The Myth of Sanity
Book • 2001
Martha Stout's "The Myth of Sanity" explores the profound impact of trauma, particularly childhood trauma, on mental health.
Stout argues that many seemingly ordinary struggles with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues can stem from unresolved childhood experiences.
The book delves into the brain's protective mechanisms, such as repression and narrative revision, which can mask the true extent of trauma.
Stout uses case studies to illustrate how seemingly minor events in childhood can have lasting effects on adult life.
She emphasizes the importance of revisiting and processing past trauma to achieve psychological well-being.
