A man named Dr. Gabor Maté had experienced trauma throughout his childhood, and he now uses his experience and the skills he’s attained along the way as a path to help others. When we are met with trauma in our younger years, it does not just cause a rift between us and the perpetrator(s), but also with how we view the world around us. Learning how to navigate the world with a more centered belief system can give us lifelong access to happiness on our own terms.
Key Takeaways:
- In our culture we have been exposed to many toxic belief systems and cultural norms. Not learning how to recognize and alter these processes can be very consequential.
- Trauma does not just impact how we view those who have harmed us. It also has the ability to completely reshape how we view the world around us.
- The unfortunate truth is that our society benefits off of the toxicity that we’re continuously exposed to. The ability to reverse the cycle lies in our hands.
