Many trading problems can be traced back to experiences long before a trader begins trading. These mistakes may only become apparent in the context of trading, but many times they stem from past traumas.
In my previous newsletter: “Has Your Overtrading Become an Addiction?”, I explained the link between trauma and addiction. In today's newsletter, I'll share with you how you can work towards healing past traumas to deliver your full potential in trading and in life.
Although medication can have tremendous benefits in alleviating trauma symptoms - such as anxiety, stress, and depression - it doesn’t directly operate on the fear circuits of the brain.

There are various treatment approaches to trauma, but I'll be sharing the 4 phases that are common to all of them and what makes them so effective.
This newsletter is for those interested in human psychology or simply in their own psychology and the why behind certain behaviors. If you keep returning to bad behavioral patterns but you're not aware of any past trauma, I recommend reading my previous newsletter before diving into this one.
