Speaker Paul Savage MD draws an analogy between hidden computer background processes that consume power and subtle psychological harms he calls "emotional concussions" — small, often-overlooked emotional impacts that drain energy over time. The excerpt frames these "little bumps" as distinct from major traumas and positions the computing metaphor to make unseen resource drains understandable.

And so you could look at your computer and say, well, I'm running Excel, but you don't know that. Four other programs are running in the background. And you think you're just working on Excel, but all those other programs are drawing power and energy, but you may not be aware of it. And that's what. So when I talk about, obviously, the big T traumas everybody knows about, those are obvious, but I call emotional concussions those little bumps that you got along the way.
