Gabor Maté – Reclaiming Authenticity

What You’ll Learn In Reclaiming Authenticity

A 9-part series

Last year, Dr. Gabor Maté with the SAND team went on The Wisdom of Trauma film European tour. We held workshops and lectures in various cities. All the events were fully sold out. We have compiled and edited the recordings of these live conversations and organized the talks in 9 distinct categories to help you navigate this rich content.

Many of our afflictions, mental illnesses, and physical diseases stem from trauma. Trauma directly affects our nervous system and leaves us stuck in defense and reactivity. It compromises our capacity to be present, open, loving — it prevents us from being our authentic selves.

• Do you recognize cycles of pain in your life?
• Do you often feel disconnected from your authentic self?
• Do you know a better life is possible, and do you still have questions on how to get there?

… then this series may be for you. It is meant for parents, therapists, teachers, healers, anyone who has experienced adversity, or is simply seeking to understand how trauma shapes our lives
