The Wisdom of Trauma

Brilliant presentation one of the most important subjects that need to be addressed in the world today! Must watch!

Everybody needs to see this. Everybody has trauma and this is a great introduction to doing the work. The concepts make so much sense and Gabor Mate is so brilliant. This gave me more motivation to put in the work in rediscovering my true authentic self.

The movie is talking about issues openly, and it made me feel better.

It is not around solutions or a way, but rather about experiences and ideas. We need more things like that nowadays. The Jail scenes were powerful.

Gabor speaking with a woman who was a victim to abuse in her youth : Gabor: "If your child was going through this, who would you want that child to speak with?"

• "With me"

Gabor: "And who did/ could you talk to?"

• "No one, I had no one to talk to"

Gabor: "That's the trauma.

Dr. Mate has been on a one-person campaign to help people deal with past traumas and move on with their lives.

After decades of working with people - first as a doctor, then as a real physician who takes the time to care about his patients and help them heal, he shares his realizations in laymen's terms.

We need to change the way we raise children (to be more present and to not violate their biologically evolved expectations for care). Adults need to move past their storehouses of unprocessed painful experiences so they can move on with their lives.

If delving a little deeper into these topic is interesting to you, then you'll like this movie.

I liked it, but it lacked something. I don't know if it should have blown me away like the others, but it did raise new questions which I will use. Nevertheless, I recommend it! Well done!
