The Wisdom of Trauma

Trauma is the invisible force that shapes our lives. It shapes the way we live, the way we love and the way we make sense of the world. It is the root of our deepest wounds.

“Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you, as a result of what happens to you.” Gabor Maté

Dr Maté gives us a new vision: a trauma-informed society in which parents, teachers, doctors, policymakers and legal personnel are not concerned with fixing behaviours, making diagnoses, suppressing symptoms and judging, but seek instead to understand the sources from which troubling behaviours and diseases spring in the wounded human soul.

This is a journey with a man who has dedicated his life to understanding the connection between illness, addiction, trauma and society.

This is a film for everybody.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with special guests chaired by visual artist Ritu Sood www.ritu-sood.com
