The Wisdom of Trauma
In this inspiring documentary on trauma healing, Dr. Gabor Maté gives us a new vision: a trauma-informed society in which parents, teachers and mental health clinicians aren’t concerned with making diagnoses, fixing behaviors or judging and suppressing symptoms. Instead, he encourages us to seek to understand the sources from which troubling behaviors spring in the wounded human soul.
