As a kid, I devoured ââ?¬Å"Choose Your Own Adventureââ?¬Â? books. Each story gave you the option of dozens of possible outcomes whether you were discovering ancient treasure, surviving a shipwreck, or rescuing friends from a mythical creature. It was so interesting to read through once and figure out where my choices would lead me, and then reread to figure out what combination of actions would get me my desired outcome. When reading Melanie Smithââ?¬â?¢s book, ââ?¬Å"Unfinished Business: 8 Steps to Heal Your Trauma, Transcend Your Past, and Transform Your Life,ââ?¬Â? it took me back to those days when all my choices had so much power, and possibly one action had the potential for life-altering effects.
ââ?¬Å"Unfinished Businessââ?¬Â? is a manual to help you address what trauma may be holding you back and how your personal history and words may also inform your actions. While it is a book you can easily read through a weekend, the purpose isnââ?¬â?¢t just reading it, but implementing the practical and self-evaluative forms sprinkled throughout. Youââ?¬â?¢re supposed to grow as a result of reading, which means you have to sit on some key terms and do a lot of soul-searching to reap the benefits.
Smith makes it clear that everyone experiences trauma. She makes it clear that while some people may have major life-altering capital-T trauma (abuse, the death of a spouse or parent, major illness, job loss, unexpected life changes, etc.) everyone will have some lowercase-t trauma that affects us and may even set us back (an embarrassing incident as a child, disappointment, heartache, failure, etc.).
It is easy to fall into a victim mentality, especially for those capital-T traumas. Smithââ?¬â?¢s book talks about identifying these traumas, labeling them, and moving on from a victim mentality. Instead of telling ourselves, ââ?¬Å"Wow, that happened to me- pity me,ââ?¬Â? we need to flip our mental narrative to say, ââ?¬Å"Wow, that happened to me- look at how resilient I am.ââ?¬Â? The book is a training manual to help you achieve that process step by step.
Itââ?¬â?¢s hard to speak directly about the impact of this book because it is such a personal experience. I think that some will find the practices in this book rudimentary, while others may have life-altering revelations. As is the case with many books about trauma, I think this book approaches a challenging topic with grace, dignity, and a tremendous amount of encouragement for those who really want to resolve their personal ââ?¬Å"unfinished business.ââ?¬Â?
While we may not have the options to choose the adventure we are on, ââ?¬Å"Unfinished Business: 8 Steps to Heal Your Trauma, Transcend Your Past, and Transform Your Lifeââ?¬Â? by Melanie Smith provides you with the tools to give your story a desirable ending. This is a book that I will be revisiting, after I complete the tremendous amount of self-reflection required of me!
