Talk:Guide to Success and Fulfillment/Dealing With Trauma and Depression

Maybe this module should be 'dealing with feeling'? There's got to be a section on love for example... Jan. 06. Duncan

Jan 13 - I thought the same thing - you can't have a guide to growing up without talking about love! I think love is a big enough topic, however, to get its own chapter - especially since it will likely touch upon the mixed-up feelings around around love and sex, and how to consult your own moral compass deep within to steer yourself through the hormones.

This chapter is going to get big enough: I notice the title's been changed to include trauma... there's much more to say about trauma! In fact, we might consider making trauma its own chapter as well. The 'stunned' or 'shock' feelings that result from emotional trauma, and the emotional 'backwash' that goes with it, is different than depression and has different patterns, handling, expectations and healing.

overuse of explanation marks
I like this module, but there seems to be an overuse of explanation marks. They look like an attempt at humor or to make the module more interesting, but they end up making it look unprofessional and full of hype. Explanation marks are good in a relaxed setting, like an IM, but I think they should almost never be used in what is supposed to become textbook quality. The point that is made should make itself important; it should not require an explanation mark. If it is something that is really important, it should be bolded, without an explanation mark. I don't think any of the parts that have explanation marks are important enough that they should be bolded, as I don't think importance was the reason they have explanation marks in the first place.CatastrophicToad 17:11, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
