Commune with Jeff Krasno

Trauma Is the Wound, Not the Event: Dr. Gabor Maté

Listen Later

Trauma isn't what happened to you, it's the wound it left behind. In this episode, Jeff revisits his conversation with Dr. Gabor Maté, physician and author, exploring why the effects of trauma can outlast the event itself, and why chronic illness is so often the body asking us to pay attention.

  • Why "normal" isn't the same as healthy
  • The difference between a traumatic event and the trauma itself
  • How disconnecting from ourselves can show up as physical illness
  • What forgiveness actually has to do with healing


    • This episode is for anyone who has wondered why some wounds take longer to heal than others.
