THE ENTIRE WORLD SHOULD BE LISTENING TO THIS MAN, THIS DR.

[@Fiawordweaver]

I’m 70. My addictions. Misuse of food and money. Losing my home as a single parent and the shame of failing my children. I write poetry instead of journaling to help me heal. I am healing. Here is one of my poems. “My face is a roadmap. My face is a roadmap of paralyzed fear It lost the contour of shine Where sadness appears. My face is a roadmap To my story afraid to unfold My face is a roadmap Of all the tears buried beneath the road. My face is a roadmap Where once there was light Molesting father, narcissistic mother and brother Darkened it to ashen abysmal night. For years my hidden molestation is what I thought shredded my soul that didn’t compare to the narcissistic abuse my mother and my religion bestowed. Trampling my heart, lungs, and vocal cords. My face is a roadmap Of religious demise Respect honor your parents at all cost Are the lies. I didn’t fight back, l didn’t utter a word. I didn’t even know what was a healthy loving world. My face is a roadmap Aging lines of frequent attacks From a shell of a mother Reminding me You’re selfish Self centered Regardless of the mountain of love showered to Her impenetrable heart sac. My face is a roadmap Wiped out by the tidal wave of trauma Voice smothered to the depths of all that Surreal drama. Good days I’m grateful to be alive, Rough days I struggle to stay to survive. My face is a roadmap 69 years Stained with tears. It took years layered with abusive narcissistic tasks To turn my roadmap Into a pretend happy face mask. My face is a roadmap It conceals Reveals A generation of trust built on sand A broken trust in me Constantly needs A helping hand Today, I author this piece to drive out my fears I want to claim happiness What’s left of my years. My face is a roadmap Also shows joy It came with a price I’d pay again and again To have my precious girl and boy. There is a truth to a portion of my heart undefeated That truth my two children saved With love over their years They repeated. My face is a roadmap Blake stares To a far away place Where all children are gently loved Always kept safe. “ Kimi swanson Minor

[@amandalynngibson8332]

Thank you. The chapters in the book of my life. I know I have had guardian angels carrying me. My "childhood" bears no resemblance to that which most people experienced. No. I don't want to go through life from the stance of "victim", but I was a little tiny person! Paltry bits only of nurturing, care, attention, security. Abusive older siblings, I was handy scape goat. I was on my own. Always. By 13 I had stopped living with either "parent", as in 1k miles away, not across town. I was legally emancipated @ 14 cuz I needed treatment for a bleeding ulcer. This is the Truth. I am grateful for resiliance and innate positivity. Gifts to be sure. The good people who provided what my parents could not give: a safe environment and good role modeling until I was 18. These lyrics "This is a lonely lonely life, sorrow is everywhere" (Paul Simon) are true, but "Resiliant" (by Apalachia Rising) is what keeps me going. 🚣‍♀️🙏🕊

Wow. This is the most eloquent and powerful description of trauma I have never encountered. Everyone should watch this to understand what trauma is and how it affects everything: your view of world, your ability to connect to it, your sense of time, and above all, your sense of self

[@pralines100]

How true. I always thought I was weirder than everyone else... But no, I've just been traumatized. Almost all the points sit on me + other issues. Finding books and videos about gabor opened my eyes to what has been weighing on me all my life. Now the only thing is...how to get out of it?

[@Albisriede]

Without Gabor I would never have realized that it was the trauma my then pregnant mother experienced during Allied bombing raids in the Berlin of WWII. I've long contemplated why sudden loud noises startle and shake me to this day. Her then isolation in another country without close loved ones nearby, may have added to this challenging situation and had its traumatic effect on her babe (me). So how does one remedy such injuries 7+ decades later? It ain't easy, and it may never come to pass.

[@StressRUs]

I'm a retired psychiatrist and addiction medicine specialist, as well as recovering alcoholic/addict, and a great fan of Gabor, also of Hungarian descent. However, these 7 steps are very flawed and just seat of the pants speculations. Also, he never mentions the most powerful recovery tool, that has healed my own childhood trauma defenses: Group therapy, in my case, 12-step groups. We cannot make this journey alone. Finally, he avoids (?) the spiritual dimension, which is central in my recovery journey. Love and peace for one and all! Just don't try to do it alone.

[@vamama100]

It's true. I felt that disconnect out of body feeling. I started counting tiles in washroom and felt I don't see it, feel it asking myself why am I awake but asleep like in a blurr fog or not present. That was in 3rd grade. Uptill now the same. I am alive but aa if not fully awake ever. I can't hold a job. I have triggers all the time. I need attention but all I get is rejectiin. Yes, I married a narcissist who was beating me and I was running away but never escaping. I don't feel swlf worth. I need many things to fill the gap of my mother hating me never ever asking about me or being kind. I had never felt I was deserving of love happiness or money. Little to mention I tried to fill the role for other people to like me, having 30 odd jobs. Never was I longer on a job over a year.

[@VanessaAbq]

Despite how it feels, please know that you do deserve love, happiness and money. It’s “normal” to feel how you feel given what you’ve been through. Hang in there. It can get better. I’m glad you came across this video and hope you have additional resources to rely on as well!

I got the first 3, learned about total depravity, reading the Bible every year. I think forgiveness is a major key to conquering PTSD. My world view is definitely changed, but I don’t need the world to be a good place like I used to, I know it never was good. Look what it did to Jesus. Heaven is the good place we long for. Follow Christ, obey his commands, believe him! Let the world be wicked, and realize that you truly CAN’T trust most people. And realize that God already has a plan in place to deal with ALL of this mess, including your pain. He’s going to wipe every tear from your eyes and I can’t wait to see such perfect love!!!

I read Dr. Bruce Perry's book What Happened To You and loved it all the way until I got to the end. He and his friend Oprah say that the trauma "didn't happen TO YOU, it happened FOR YOU." and that is bullshit. Go tell that to people who were abused and not protected from harm. Tell that to children who grew up unwanted by their parents. What a disgusting thing to tell people. I am trauma informed. I believe in healing, but that is a harmful ideology. Like gaslighting victims to tell them it happened FOR THEM.

[@johnnyt.sollitto512]

Sarella so sorry you’ve had that much pain in your life. But when strangers respond to you here no love ❤️ is real Maybe you haven’t experienced much love but believe me lifes brought me to my knees many times - and these hells have been my blessings in hind sight Love is real bc God is love. We are all of his creation just not Christ Jesus who came to teach us the way Why did he come ? Bc the world had become so disconnected, lost in sin, so far from our creator father - that he came down in his Son to save us - show us the path back home. You’re life is just a smaller play of why Christ came down to earth - if he did it for the world - he can do it for you my friend. Your trauma just disconnected you from the love from all that truly is…. You can heal and its never too late - o/w I wouldnt be wasting my time Just surrender to the Lord in prayer. Lay it all out - asked to be saved - what do you have to lose? My friend just passed - LEE AKMAN 5-28-2023 NYC RIP - she was 100 yrs young. That means you have another 26 years - thats a whole lotta time to get back on track and live the life God meant you too And its not about doing anything so forget that too old nonsense bullshit - it’s simply about BEING Whether you’re a President or street sweeper - what matters is BEING connected to God, to source, living every moment in His presence And thats all prayer is about - coming into his presence. In fact you’re in my morning prayers. Will be praying for your renewal in spirit - your trauma disconnected you from your spirit thats all - and with simple prayer and work you can get reconnected to source, God, Christ very easily. Baby steps of faith each day thats all. A quick way I found to touch God when I was very low was to help those in worse position than me. Give to receive. Believe me brother I do not waste my time. It is all possible and I hate to see anyone in unnecessary pain for any longer than they have to be. I as lost too - for decades - its only 2 years now that I’ve been saved. I was like you in a state of hopelessness for many years…..but sometimes thats what it takes. Thats why many drug addicts find Jesus… nothing brings. You down to nothing like a good drug habit, lol. But if it gets one to Christ well then damn thats a pretty good drug habit. 😅 You’re in my prayers. Just ask and yea shall receive. Just get started and NEVER GIVE UP - you will get there. Never too late. God bless 🙏🏼❤️

[@VanessaAbq]

@sarella4 Even your last days can become beautiful! And no, I’m not gonna say you just need to give your life to Christ, yada, yada, yada. Once upon a time I was that person and would have said that but thankfully that period of my life is over. Although that period of time in my life was a very authentic one for me, something still always felt “off.” It still irks me that people don’t understand you just can’t “pray” yourself out of depression, or that you must have sin in your life and need to repent, or whatever other things they may believe. Don’t get me wrong, I believe most people that believe those things have good intentions but they are also, to put it frankly, stuck in the rut of old, traditional beliefs that in the end, just can’t help everyone! Anyway, that’s a different discussion for another day but my point is that once I started opening my mind, it turned out that the very things I had been taught to be bad” in Christianity were the very things that actually ended up helping me through the HARDEST days of my life and now I’m better than ever. Obviously, I learned that there’s only “one way” but that there is A way (apart from religion) that can lead you to profound peace, joy, love, & gratitude. I know this because it’s my current experience and I hope from this point on, you will discover the things that lead you down the path where you find this to be your experience, too. Best wishes!

Hi. I know its hard, I have been through it and still dealing with it. Havent had therapy. Tried finding answers în so many ways and tried improving and forgiving. I know my parents didnt get what they needed from their parents and ended up treating us in certain ways. I think we have to work on it all the time, try finding the patience of being kinder with everyone around us. Just because this world is full of suffering, and we can try helping in any way we can. We forgive because we understand that certain people cant change because they are too engrained în their ways. Maybe inside they wish they could, maybe they dont..it doesnt matter. We have to try not acting like them. And if we do sometimes, try again. I wish I could take back the times I answered în anger or maybe I didnt do enough for others. I tried, and I keep trying to improve because I know I fall short of certain stuff. And I wish nobody would suffer, so that helps forgiving. Getting to Know God helps with everything, understanding Him and why we have this reality will help you change. I know He tells the truth and He wants us to go back to Him. This life is about us trying to get back to Him. Focus on that and you will see how you will finally understand why things happen the way they do and that will help you. I hope I made some sense. Wishing you all the best.

@@miyaiun4723 After many years of efforts and giving up and over the last two years, I just kept telling myself I am not giving up. I’m staying the course and I think finally I can see the end of the tunnel or some really great things that have happened. I’m off the Lyrica six months which is for the CRPS, which is a chronic pain condition, and I have reoccurring virus that I haven’t had in months as well so I’ve also been practicing heartbreak coherence and forgiveness and mirror work so I have some really good days, but I still have bad days. I agree with you totally it’s a lifelong thing, but at some point not only are we to find our way back to God but to become the person we came here to be. In other words to be the change you wanna see in the world. I’m finally beginning to really believe and feel that I can be happy and grow after a lifetime of struggling but I didn’t have all the things available to me like we do now and isn’t that a gift and something to be grateful for by the way gratitude is a huge key to all of this. There’s always something I can be grateful for. For your feedback, I send you love and wish you joy and peace.

[@StressRUs]

So, basically our dear Gabor is describing Complex PTSD symptoms: flashbacks, emotional self-numbing, toxic shame, reliving nightmares, chronic anxiety, hypervigilance, loss of basic trust, poor attachment behavior, and depression. I just got off the phone with my only living first cousin, who is a classic untreated alanon, and was evicted from her marital home several months ago in huge blow-up with her common-law husband, who she had been essentially enslaved to for 24 yrs., giving him about $80K for their common abode and nearly killing herself to get him to myriad treatments for small cell lung cancer, only to find out he had been smoking all along and his family hid this from her and were unsupportive of her efforts. Her toxic shame spewed in all directions and she was always angry, much like Donald Trump and his MAGAT followers. We have created a national minority of these poor souls by birthing children who we could not care for or protect from abuse. I am, also, one of these and my 12-step groups are filled with such dear souls. Please do not bring another unwanted/unplanned child into this dying world already past all its tipping points for full-on climate collapse.

[@annalisavajda252]

Yes Gabor has mentioned the problems of our world "leaders" being broken people too Trump is strong and intelligent doesn't drink or smoke but I don't know that makes him an overly compassionate person or more so he had an America first attitude many think cruel but Canada can't even care for its own citizens and pretends it can help others? That's just a lie. Unfortunately about the children some women are in domestic abuse situations and being coerced by their spouse and family to breed and have the horror of knowing their childs life is or will b null and void as is their own. Shocking how many think having children will save a marriage or one abused kid needs a sibling for company etc. Certainly the justice system doesn't care much for victims either.

Traume przechodzimy w praktyce niemalże codziennie. O czym głośno się nie mówi.

Dr Mate, I have to let you know that you you have helped my soul. I needed to understand in order to let go. I’m about to be 54. I am one of seven suffered severe trauma at 4 years old became an amputee no one would comfort me in the hospital all the adults too concerned who was to blame. I just needed a hug. ❤❤❤I am so grateful I saw this pop up for me on KZbin.. I was ready finally to hear this….you just lite the way the path to save me. I am forever grateful to finally set myself free from dabbling in the past, a lost soul in the dark. ❤❤❤ 🫂

You know, just about anybody with a reasonably good head on their shoulders could do and say the same things GM is saying. You dont even need to be an MD. Thats the world we live in: pick your topic, learn about it, and pronounce yourself an expert.

Of course. 99% of success is just "showing up."
