🔴 Most People Never Heal Because They Miss This.
Have you ever wondered why you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained — even when life seems “fine”? The answers may lie deep in your childhood experiences, and understanding them could be the key to your healing.

In this powerful video, we explore the insights of renowned trauma expert Dr. Gabor Maté, as he explains the hidden connection between early emotional wounds, brain development, and the struggles many of us face in adulthood — from people-pleasing to emotional triggers, and even undiagnosed ADHD-like symptoms.

If you’ve ever felt like something was “off” inside, this could help you understand why — and what to do next.

I Am Healing.
Thank you, Gabor Maté, for opening this 65 year old woman's eyes and placing a giant piece of the puzzle in it's spot.

I'm 69. Come Dr. Mate says with regard to the struggle: it is lots of work, lifelong. But we are not slone anymore, we do it together. Takes lots of reflection, once in while there is a breakthrough. One does't seek any longer to adjust the past, but to develop a realistic view of present possibilities of satisfaction. Live fully every moment of beauty.

Wisdom is to know what to do with what tools we already possess.

I've been training doctors to give up their practices and to stop treating patience, because they don't understand the root cause of these diseases. Many has repented and stopped being doctors and admitted that they are the least qualified out of anybody, to deal with disease. Most have now transitioned and have moved into Holistic healing and includes the Spiritual component as well, which can not be separated from one another when it comes to wholeness in terms of the overall health facilitating of the healing process...
