#The wisdom of trauma free

I have told him stories of my life that I have never told anyone else. We have been together for twenty two years and married for two years. He is a very caring and gentle man and I believe he was sent to me for a reason. When my husband got up, he would come to say good morning to me and find me crying inconsolably day after day. During the writing process I would get up at 5am and write for two hours each day. I have written my memoire-first draft within the last five months and in it have revealed a multitude of traumas that I have shared with some, some with no one.

#The wisdom of trauma free

Might the teachers act differently in your schools? How about the doctors seeking to help you heal? The judges responsible for deciding sentences? The policy makers who define our collective structures and the leaders we appoint to represent our voice? We hold the vision of a world that breaks free of cycles of trauma and becomes more open and inclusive. Trauma cannot always be conquered, fixed, or resolved, but it can be heard, held and loved. We hold the vision of a society that can acknowledge the truth about shame and the pain of unmet needs that live quietly but widely among us. Individually and collectively we carry a backlog of pain that has never been heard because we miss narratives to help us share, witness and hold space for each other’s deepest wounds. We thought that trauma was caused by bad things happening to people REALLY bad things: war, murder, violence, sexual exploitation… But trauma, as we learned from Dr. When we started this film, we thought that we were among the lucky ones who had had a happy childhood. He points us to the path of individual and collective healing. Maté gives us a new vision: a trauma-informed society in which parents, teachers, physicians, policy-makers and legal personnel are not concerned with fixing behaviours, making diagnoses, suppressing symptoms and judging, but seek instead to understand the sources from which troubling behaviours and diseases spring in the wounded human soul. It shapes the way we live, the way we love and the way we make sense of the world. Trauma is the invisible force that shapes our lives. This is a journey with a man who has dedicated his life to understanding the connection between illness, addiction, trauma and society.
