Trauma is, almost by definition, that which cannot be initially coherently integrated into the psyche. It is the injury into isolation/alienation/rejection/control that fractures the psyche and then leads to all sorts of strategies to try and regulate and fix and structure, which then cracks not just the psyche but relationships, some times across generations.

Can we build reflective, responsive spaces to help foster awareness and then acceptance and then more active integration?

Best,
Gregg

Thank you for sharing, KC,

Gabor Mate persuasively argues for an environmental perspective on our mental health problems.  The implications of his neonatal separation talks are particularly chilling!

Those jumped out to me as well, Ali! Thank you for sharing.

I also really liked this one: “Children don’t get traumatized because they get hurt, they get traumatized because they are alone with their hurt.” Gabor Mate

The other sessions that have been posted on this 6-day series are also really well done and fascinating to listen to. Here are the links for those who want to peruse (my more organized self would have listed the titles- but all brainpower is currently on dissertation proposal- So you can play pick a random trauma talk and see what you get!):

Great recommendation! I watched this last night.

Below are my two favorite lines:

"How do you deal with not being wanted? You make yourself needed."

"We don't respond to what happens, we respond to our perception of what happens."

Appreciate the share!

Warmly,

Ali

________________________________
Kacey, I would second that.  I finally watched it last night (having had it on my 'to watch' list for ages), and it's the most impacting documentary I've seen in a while.  I've forwarded it on to my daughter and some friends, who have an interest in trauma and the psychological wellbeing of our society.  The more people who see it the better, I think.
