How to Heal Childhood Trauma - Mindfulness, Psychopathy & Dissociation with Christine Forner
Today I'm talking to trauma specialist Christine Forner who specializes in dissociation, mindfulness and trauma healing. This conversation was absolutely mind-blowing to me and Christine shares some groundbreaking ideas that I believe are crucial for our continued survival as a species. 🌸
We talk about infants and babies and what happens when they don't get their needs met during the first years of life. We talk about meditation, neurobiology and the possibility of living in an enlightened - not dissociated - state. We're trying to find words for the naturalness, the nurturing and human awareness that exists when all concepts are taken away. We also talk about how we can heal from childhood and intergenerational trauma to live fulfilling lives.
We talk about parenting and the human species as an alloparenting species, meaning not everyone should have children, and how ignoring our nature is wreaking havoc on society and people's mental health. We even touch on psychopathy and how it has shaped our modern world.
But best of all, Christine shares how healing is possible and the world she can imagine where we've healed from trauma.
We touch on a lot of topics in this conversation and I have added time stamps for you to be able to clearly see what's going on! A big part of this conversation was about parenting and understanding the infant's experience. Understanding that infants feel pain and what happens when infants are neglected or hurt. Especially the dissociation that happens when we're not meeting the needs of infants and toddlers.
We also talk about how we can heal this neglect many of us experienced during childhood, and doing this though meditation. Christine also differentiates between a common misconception: that mindfulness or meditation is dissociation.

Your video has left me pondering deeply about the course of history and the impact it has had on science and society. As an engineer who is passionate about science, I often wonder how the world might have evolved differently if certain pivotal changes hadn't occurred thousands of years ago. One thought that arises is the role of patriarchy in shaping the trajectory of scientific progress. Would science have flourished differently in a world without patriarchal structures? And if so, what lessons can we draw from this hypothetical scenario to guide our actions today, and to raise our children ? As a parent, I'm committed to raising my children in a way that empowers them to contribute positively to society. For me, this means nurturing their curiosity, fostering a sense of empathy and inclusivity, and instilling a passion for learning and discovery. It's not about being the best in a competitive sense, but rather about embodying values that promote collaboration, understanding, and collective well-being. Thank you for sparking these thought-provoking questions.
Thank you, Saga, and thank you Christine. I have been thinking about this topic of how we can return to live in a society like we had for 100.000s of years but lost 10.000 years ago. A society where happiness, peacefulness and the feeling of being a connected everything comprehending being was the normal state of existence. This video has given me a lot of new information and views on this incredibly important issue, so thank you! I am also so lucky to have an autistic girlfriend as my partner, who is able to see through the disguises that society and patriarchy use to hide the fact that everything would be great, if we would just love each other, nothing else. (Your description of "Nothingness" for this state feels like the absolutely best description possible with words.) So thank you, Saga, for also sharing your incredibly special view on this matter. This is defineteley one of the most influential pieces of information of my life.
This is a deep and detailed interview. Thank you for all you do helping people, Saga.
This is super interesting, so grateful for the effort that goes into your videos. Thank you so much💚
WOW! THIS IS A "DEEP" ONE! Thanks for sharing! I hope things are going we with you! kram
You are always interesting saga you have intelligent video's love you're you are a great interviewer
I found it really hard to get her point, as she was covering lots of different topics at once, and I don't see the connection between them. So what exactly was she trying to say in answer to the 1st question?

Do you mean the question of how we are misstreating children according to their nervous system 1:41 ? I think what Christine is saying is that children's nervous systems are made for receiving an incredible amount of love and care from their parental caregivers that we do not provide for them today. It would be in ours and the babies biology to feel their needs and to fulfill them unconditionally for the first 5 years of their lives. Only this would let them feel loved, connected and cared for the way it is supposed to feel. Otherwise, they feel like something is incredibly wrong, as babies but also still as grown-ups.
