The Secret To Healing Trauma | Dr. Gabor Mate

Dr. Gabor Mate shares his personal journey of healing the trauma he experienced as an infant baby when his Jewish family was subject to Nazi occupation in Hungary. Trauma is not what happened to you. Trauma is the wound that you sustained. This is a good thing! Because if trauma was what happened to you, how can you heal? But emotional wounds can be healed at any time if one is willing to recognize their wounds and begin to give them the loving attention they require to heal.

Transcript:

Suffering is not because of the pain we experience but because of our refusal to accept the pain. And I just really got that very clearly, very recently. So all my life I've been carrying around the pain and the resistance to the pain of what happened to me in infancy and what happened to my family, which is that being Jews in Hungary under the Nazi occupation, my family was devastated by the genocide. My grandparents were killed in Auschwitz. My mother and I spent my first year of my life under Nazi occupation under conditions of privation and terror. I was sick. I was hungry. I was separated from my mother as a one year old and all that left a deep imprint in my brain and in my mind and in my body.
