A sabedoria do trauma

It's an overview of Gabor Mate's work and research. I really appreciated the film. I would like to see more in-depth pieces on the different aspects of trauma that were covered here, but that would take hours and hours, obviously. Connections were made that surprised me with new knowledge, and I did feel that I learned a lot. I did appreciate the range of people who were given voice, especially including the prisoners. That aspect of the film made a strong impression, and was a powerful statement on how troubled people enduring trauma are disregarded in our society until it' has become a crisis, for the individual and for society. I would like to see the film again, as a lot of information was presented. Since it focused on several individuals, groups and aspects of trauma, going rather rapidly, I feel that the information needs to be allowed to soak in more. It is, after all, an overview.

The movie is talking about issues openly, and it made me feel better.

It is not around solutions or a way, but rather about experiences and ideas. We need more things like that nowadays. The Jail scenes were powerful.

Gabor speaking with a woman who was a victim to abuse in her youth : Gabor: "If your child was going through this, who would you want that child to speak with?"

• "With me"

Gabor: "And who did/ could you talk to?"

• "No one, I had no one to talk to"

Gabor: "That's the trauma.

While the general approach towards appreciating trauma is definitely welcome, it is nothing too radical and has been part of psychology for years.

The methods and suggestions depicted tiptoe between science and pseudoscience with no reference to studies whatsoever. I also can't help but notice that the documentary revolves around one person and his brand rather than the full range of approaches, definitions and meanings of trauma that exist, that a title like the above would lead me to expect.

Unfortunately, for me it is a romanticised advertisement and awareness campaign rather than a documentary.

I liked it, but it lacked something. I don't know if it should have blown me away like the others, but it did raise new questions which I will use. Nevertheless, I recommend it! Well done!

Brilliant presentation one of the most important subjects that need to be addressed in the world today! Must watch!
