ANECDOTE

Fired From A Ceremony, Then Healed

  • Dr. Gabor Maté was removed from an Ayahuasca retreat ceremony because shamans sensed unresolved trauma in him.
  • He then worked privately with a shaman for ten days which culminated in a powerful healing vision.
INSIGHT

Medicine Trains Trauma Into Doctors

  • Many doctors enter medicine driven by unresolved trauma and undergo traumatic training.
  • Medical education fails to teach trauma care or self-care, so physicians treat trauma without understanding it.
ADVICE

Put The Child's Needs First

  • Ask first: what are the child's irreducible needs and meet them before shaping behavior.
  • Prioritize secure attachment, unconditional acceptance, and the freedom for the child to feel emotions.
