Stories We Tell About National Trauma Reflect Our Psychological Well-being

The point is that the stories we tell ourselves can reflect and affect our health.
Stories We Tell About National Trauma Reflect Our Psychological Well-being:
"ScienceDaily (July 31, 2009) — A new study by psychologists at the University at Buffalo and the F. W. Olin College of Engineering finds that in the aftermath of national trauma, the ability to make sense out of what happened has implications for individual well-being and that the kinds of stories people tell about the incident predict very different psychological outcomes for them."

  1. When something happens that is a tragedy or an incident it makes most feel better if they tell someone especially if this person feels guilty because he was involved in the incident or tragedy. If no one is told many can live with an unbearable guilt for the rest of their lives.
