This is so timely in proximity to a pandemic that has triggered trauma coping mechanisms in nearly every person. I think trauma and complex ptsd should be studied by all in order to understand ourselves and each other and develop a deeper level of compassion for our fellow man.

Don’t stop what you are doing. Your gut and intuition is pulling you one way. What people think of you and peoples opinions are pulling you another way. Break free. Be brave. Follow your heart. You are a chosen one. Don’t listen to the ones with enslaved minds.

So glad you are discussing this topic. I think this energetic shift is opening us all to awareness; I am releasing a memoir in Jan. 2022 which is the personal observations and lessons I learned from the trauma in my life and I started writing it in 2008 but it was only now that I felt it could be understood. Trauma is a tool which keeps us in fear and fearful people are easily manipulated. I just love this discussion. Thank you

I've been diagnosed with CPTSD, and have it yet to be addressed in my treatment for clinical depression. Trauma has ravaged my life.

Trauma has kept me frozen in time since I was a teen. I'm 65 now 😒🤦🏼🐌🕯️

Love Paul Conti so much. I think its kinda revoluntionary what he does. Also the work of Gabor Maté. We are slowly starting to understand how impacted we all are from trauma.

When its his birthday I will buy him a better mic :D

Trauma isn't new and thankfully we have increased outlets for learning. We are still going up against cultural bias and ignorance.

People who are loved have an entirely different life journey. It’s a parallel universe to people who start without love.
