Can You Heal From Trauma?

[@melissad1854]

Thank you, Nathan for sharing about your book. My grandfather was blind before my mom was even born.. He was a feisty young man of Irish descent working in a mill in the early 1900's. He forced a piece of machinery, and metal fragments got into one eye. After surgery, the other eye was affected and he lost both eyes. In today's world, his sight could have been saved. Papa was smart, but generally a mean person. He pitted family members against eachother, among other things. He was horribly verbally abusive to my grandmother, in public. I asked her how could she stay married to him for over 50 years. She said only half of them were bad, and no one else would have taken care of him. My mom picked up on his abusiveness. Learned behavior. Once I was told about the ideology of learned behavior, my life changed, for the better. I have since taught my daughters about generational patterns of abuse and behavior. They cycle can be broken. It takes keen awareness and a desire to do something better. Papa's life was a gift, so that we could see that we can all change our lives for the better.

I needed to hear this. I lost my sister about 15 years ago and I was the one who had to control the situation. I always blamed myself that I didn't do enough, or I didn't check up on her, or I didn't pay enough attention to the warning signs. It was extremely traumatic and I boxed it all up and didn't deal with it because I felt guilty. My parents leaned on me looking for a foundation during this time. In all of our own suffering, we forgot that we, as a family, were suffering. While they navigated their trauma, I couldn't. I needed to hear this so I can be whole again.

[@crystaljohnston9928]

I related to what you said and just want say I'm sorry for your and your family's loss and many prayers to you. I myself am working on myself I blame myself and the hospital for my son's passing. I have had so much anger in me that sometimes I get so snappy at others and I also have no self love anymore and I love others very much but when it comes to loving myself I can't my anger is alot toward myself. I been trying to do better then some days I am just like over it all and I just freak out. I think I should get couciling I don't know that it could help me or not but it might. I wish you many blessings and I just wanted to say I felt your words I know we are different ppl living different situations but I still felt your words and I just want to send love your way. May you find peace and may I find some too God bless

Ugh 🥺 my heart breaks for you but at the same time.. feel very hopeful/happy for you ♥️ those epiphanies are _everything_ when going through healing. Or even just beginning healing! I lost my mom 18 years ago. I was 12 years old. Her death + addiction was the most traumatic thing that I’ve ever gone through. I stuffed that sh*t down for *yearsssss.* I didn’t mourn her death until I was 19 years old and my whole entire life changed in that moment. I’m still a different person because of it. I didn’t even choose to do it either. Plant medicine forced me to lol it was extremely uncomfortable so idk if I’d recommend it 🤣 but really all it did was force me to stare that trauma right in the face and stop ignoring it. It was so freeing once I did and just like you, guilt was the biggest thing. I hope you get to a place of healing!! Every single person that has ever known me said I changed from that time period forward. It seems like this is something you need to face head on.. whatever means that may be. Meditation is another thing that has completely changed my life. When you’re there with just your thoughts.. you have no where to run or hide. It takes some getting used to. Even if you just do five minutes, every single day, for at least a month, every single day.. soon you’ll be able to do 10 min, then 20 mins.. now I can sit in silence for an hour in just the most blissful feeling I can describe lol. I’ve had deep meditations where old memories that I never even knew existed came up and I bawled for 30 minutes straight. Then after you have the most amazing relief and a huge weight lifted off your shoulders. Admitting that you’ve stuffed those hard feelings down is so huge. So you’ve already began the healing process! And what an amazing family member you are for being the rock that held everyone down 🥺 now it’s time to be that same rock for yourself! Sending you so much love ♥️♥️♥️

Wesly, i just found your channel today and I couldn’t stop watching all the videos. They were so profound, yet easy to understand and practical. I suffered from depression and anxiety for 50+years. God brings me to your channel for the assurance of His promise. I noticed that you haven’t had new videos recently but I wanted to let you know that God continues to use your effort from the past to influence people and save people from the sufferings. Thank you for bringing Hope to my life.

I think he hit it out of the park when he spoke about the “victim mindset.” There are far too many people who play the “victim” (either they do it willingly and they don’t care or there are those who stay victims because they just don’t know what to do to help themselves so they choose to stay that way, because it’s easier than finding solutions) and therefore never grow and/or move on from whatever it is that happened to them. I wish more people would consider his point of view. Thank you Nathan for sharing your knowledge and thoughts. And also, thank you Wes. God bless you and yours and Merry Christmas!🎄

" *As an empath, I sometimes think why others can't* " that line was really relatable to me...one that I find myself pondering about again n again. Also, when the interviewer asked how to develop empathy? The reply (through creativity) was so beautiful n' apt. A thing I would love to add is- *reading fiction* in general works wonders for growing empathy for other beings (at least it did for me). Thanku for this :) keep up the wholesome content!

[@nathansellers-heal.grow.become]

Thank you! Please read my book and share with others. It is a great way to spread the message of empathy and care. A a work of fiction it allows the reader to dig down and related to the characters and explore their own life.

[@surenderbeniwal8578]

@@nathansellers-heal.grow.become would def do, good sir :) Edit - ok. Revisiting this, i realize how (unintentionally) shallow this was. I dropped off only halfway through the vid n' didn't get around to listening to it until now. Bc of which i couldn't get to the part where Nathan discusses his book. It sounds *beautiful.* I don't have KU (which is the only format it's available in, for now, here, at least for me) but i can't be more excited to get a physical copy, when I'm able to n' read it :) Ooh! Until then maybe I'll try listening to the few chptrs' audio u mentioned.

[@surenderbeniwal8578]

Again, thanku for this insightful chatty sitdown vid. It gave me a lot to think n' write about :) Sending good wishes ur way!

[@castle6660]

I have no degree in anything.. but I knew this information before this man spoke it to me. As a "victim" of childhood trauma ... I can honestly say... We are not victims...we are Victors. Imagine the horrible thing that had to have happened to the person... who did the horrible thing to you. Imagine how horrible that was...to allow them to be able to do that horrible thing to you. Do yourself a favor... Forgive them. Hate is baggage... and it will rule you. Don't let it Define you. You ARE NOT the horrible things that happened to you. You ARE NOT the horrible things you've done to someone. Forgive them...forgive yourself. Move on. I forgive the man who molested me. I can't imagine what he had to go through... to be able to do that to me. But that is not me...that IS NOT who I am. I forgive you. These experiences are supposed to help us be better. Life is a gift. Move on. Love God...love your family and friends, and move on. I love you.

[@randomadviceguy1780]

Such great advice! Thank you so much for putting this out for us.

[@cameronarmstrong]

Please read his book and then have Nathan back on to answer yours and our questions. I finished SIGHT a few weeks ago and loved it. Cheapest and best therapy out there, as he said, you go through it with the Character. I would love to hear more of yours and others thoughts about their own journey.

[@rogerkallen]

I love Nathan's insight into the human experience. His book is excellent, amazing.

[@Jbv236]

I love this channel. It touched my heart. The guy with the long hair (the host) has a really nice way about him. He makes guests feel so comfortable and he has a nice calming presence. 😀 and I loved the therapist too.

[@PrioritizeYourLife]

John thank you so much! Comments like that are why I'm going to keep pushing to grow this project. Thanks! (wesly - the host long hair guy :) )

●Love the conversation about *forgiveness.* ○The thing about positivity and negatively existing simultaneously in life, and how u'll see in abundance the one u chose to, was really good too! I often find myself thinking the same thing! ●Also, hard relate to when Nathan said something like, the best part of engaging with people is when u get past that surface ,delve deep n' get to have meaningful conversations, i love that!

[@nathansellers-heal.grow.become]
