‘Ask not why the addiction, ask why the pain.’ -Gabor Mate

Let’s break this cycle of self destruction, numbing, feeling of worthlessness & aggression that stems from trauma

This incredibly insightful video expands on why people act out of pain. Let’s learn, empathise, act.

‘A trauma-informed society is the first step towards breaking the cycles of trauma & reclaiming our authentic selves’

Watch The Wisdom of Trauma Movie on October 4-10, Featuring DR. GABOR MATÉ Plus The Trauma Talks Series, Part II, a 5-day teaching series on trauma with leading experts!
