Psychological fragility, authored by: Dr. Ismail Arafah

One of the results of our psychological fragility is that we sometimes exaggerate any problem that appears in our lives to the point of depicting it as an existential disaster. There is a process called in psychology Pain catastrophizing. This process is a emotional state that overwhelms you when you encounter a problem, making you believe that your problem is bigger than your ability to tolerate, so you feel helpless and collapse when the problem occurs, and you continue to describe it with exaggerated negative words that do not match its true size, but are additional descriptions that exist only in your imagination, increasing your pain and intensifying your suffering. Then what?! Then you drown in feelings of spiritual breakdown and complete psychological exhaustion, feeling lost and completely unable to resist, surrendering to your pain, and your whole life collapses because of this problem. Psychological fragility also manifests in other forms in our daily interactions: we magnify our feelings and make them almost the final judgment on everything, deciding to withdraw from anything that hurts our feelings, even with a simple word. We hate criticism of our ideas because criticism has become for us like an attack. We love to turn to psychologists at every negative feeling in our lives and rush to them seeking treatment. We do not accept advice and do not want anyone to judge us, excusing any mistake or crime on the grounds that the perpetrator is psychologically distressed. Therefore, this book analyzes what happens to a group of young men and women who have been affected by the phenomenon of psychological fragility, and then offers practical solutions to strengthen the self, train it to be patient, and bear responsibility.
