How Unresolved Trauma is Passed Down Through Generations: Dr. Gabor Maté Explains
In this insightful video, we delve into the profound concept of generational trauma and its far-reaching impacts, guided by the wisdom of Dr. Gabor Maté. Discover how unresolved traumas from previous generations can silently shape the lives of their descendants, and explore the ways in which parents' unhealed wounds can unknowingly influence their children's mental and emotional well-being. Healing this pervasive issue requires a societal effort, and we’ll discuss how breaking this cycle is crucial for the health of future generations.
We then shift our focus to the present moment, highlighting the importance of connecting to the here and now for self-understanding. Learn the essential question, "What's happening for you right now?" and how focusing on sensations and immediate awareness can enhance self-awareness and help regulate emotions like anxiety. Dr. Gabor Maté provides invaluable insights into how living in the present moment can transform your mental health.
Finally, we broaden our perspective to understand trauma beyond the individual level. Trauma isn't just a personal experience; it encompasses community, historical, and institutional dimensions. Healing from trauma requires more than just individual efforts-it demands a collective societal response. We’ll explore how structural inequalities perpetuate trauma across different societal groups and discuss strategies for creating a more equitable and healing society.
Join us on this journey to understand the deep roots of trauma and the paths to healing, both personally and collectively.
