"What is Trauma?" panel - Gabor Mate, Richard Schwartz, Peter Levine, Dan Siegel, Alanis Morissette

This is an exclusive keynote panel from the Embodiment Conference 2020, and one of the gems from that conference we think the world should see.
In this interview, hosted by Mark Walsh, we get to hear from Alanis Morissette (Musician, singer, songwriter) discuss trauma with some of the world’s leading experts in the field:
Peter Levine (Developer of Somatic Experiencing method, psychiatrist and author of Waking the Tiger and many other books on trauma), Gabor Maté (Family physician, author, expert in addiction, trauma, childhood development, and the relationship between stress and illness), Richard Schwartz (Founder of Internal Family Systems, author, and therapist) and Dan Siegel (Interpersonal neurobiologist, professor of psychiatry at UCLA and executive director of the Mindsight Institute).

✅Who is Mark Walsh?
“Mr. Embodiment” is the author of "Embodiment", "The Body in Coaching and Training", and "Embodied Meditation". He hosts "The Embodiment Podcast" (over 1 million downloads), and led "The Embodiment Conference" (1000 teachers, 500,000 delegates). Seeing a theme yet?
He founded the "Embodied Facilitator Course", and has trained over 2000 embodiment coaches in over 40 other countries (some of which will even let him back in).
Mark gained an honours in psychology (despite being an alcoholic at the time), and has taught widely in the corporate world where he pretended to be a grown up for years, including with blue-chip companies (e.g. Google, Unilever, Shell, Axa, L’Oreal) whom he charged wayyyy too much as they made him wear a suit.
He has also upset… sorry, taught… many yogis, NGOs, police officers and several militaries.
Mark has worked in war zones, and entertained over 50,000 children. He has headlined International Coach Federation events, taught at universities, lived with the circus in Ethiopia, founded the Sane Ukraine project, wowed celebrities and kissed a princess.
Mark is an aikido black belt, and also has 25 years of experience of other martial arts, with yoga, bodywork, improv comedy, conscious dance and meditation.
Embodiment is his obsession, life’s work, and frankly at this point he couldn’t get a job doing anything else. He dances like your dad at a wedding, overshares about his gorgeous Ukrainian wife, and offends pirates with his swearing.
He is now tired of writing in the third person.

I carry my trauma with me. I communicate with my body. I listen to her signals. I sometimes think I’m mended but one of my ACEs will rear up to bite me. When I can I confront it and put it back in its box. I can’t change it but I can change the impact it has on my life and my body. Always listen your gut instinct. Value the messages she sends use the tools that work for you to get back to your safe place. I’m not an academic just an ordinary woman.

[@vishimishra4991]

All my favourites on one panel. Just listening to you guys is so healing. Thank you for your service.

[@Rossdd44]

I've seen so much content from these guys that watching it felt like having a nice time with old friends. It was very pleasurable to watch. Thank you for this.

[@paulfalstad1]

The presenters are legendary, revolutionary, instrumental, groundbreakers, geniuses, & internationally invaluable in trauma healing. Frankly Mark, you're rigidity and attempt to restrain was essentially ruined the seminar for me. I'd suggest that you let them talk. Also if you're trying to keep a time limit don't have so many presenters who have so much wisdom to share. Trying to restrict genius with a time limit is like trying to suppress a race horse in the Kentucky Derby.

[@martianmatters]

Even for her!!!!

[@MandyLightfullyou]

This panel is incredibly empowering and inspiring. Thanks a lot.

[@Theembodimentchannel]

Glad you think so!

[@vaishalivaidya7978]

This was one of the finest feast on the wisest minds we have.Such a delight to hear them all. Would be a huge priveledge to listen to them personally someday

[@melliotbarrett]

Really rich discussion! Thanks for sharing. I think a good way to see if you are affected by trauma but can’t remember is to just listen and seek if this stirs up emotions.

[@abdulbasirsabir9290]

Thank you all for this service. Listening these heroes especially my hero Gabor mate from Afghanistan ❤

Many thanks

[@carolinegraham3153]

I cannot express how much researching all of your work is enlightening me and I have only found you all two weeks ago. As a chronically ill 44 year old now in therapy for unprocessed childhood trauma 8 am finding this astonishing especially as I have gone from DMARDS , NSAIDS and prescribed opioids and I still cannot get out of pain. I am now finding the truth of myself in your words. I am truly astonished and enthralled with all of your work. I just wish I could get out of the pain . Thank you from 🇬🇧 I am tuning in and much appreciate it ✌️

Last question ? My fun practice…… listening to these videos 😊🧘🏼👏🏻

Some notes and quotes: 5:45 Q: What is trauma? 17:15. Q: What is the role of the body in trauma? 33:45 Q: How do you heal trauma? 50:03 Gabor: conservative, study about men beating as kids, more likely to favor capital punishment, those who had therapy were less likely to feel that way. 1:05:30 Q: intuitions vs trauma response? 1:05:25 Dr. Dan Siegel, neuropsychiatrist, bestelling author “In my reading of the scientific literature on male brains and female brains, what you see is if you put a scan up, let’s say to an expert, ‘Is this a female brain or a male brain?’, whether it’s the function or the structure, they cannot tell. They cannot tell. There are tendencies, for example, for there to be a bit more integration across the hemispheres, and more differentiation in males, more integration in females. But we can’t say is that’s shaped by cultural inputs. Because the research is very clear. The culture we’re immersed in shapes the way the brain develops. So that’s why people who are making their livelihoods on saying males brains and female brains are so different are missing the science of how culture shapes the brain. We had a whole center we used to run at UCLA looking at this. So we were careful, scientifically, about that.” female male brain , mostly same Culture shapes brain Flight, fight, freeze, faint Neural networks around gut(first) and heart(second), brain (w language third) 1:17:45 Q: what can we learn from indigenous cultures on trauma?

[@cristinadurigon4075]

An amazing meeting with great minds. I would have appreciated more flexibility from the host who interrupted important train of thoughts. Gabor was the one being able só say “no” demonstrating, live, what he teaches.

[@betsyc6055]

this was amazing but I would have appreciated it if Mark wasn't so rigid as a host. You can let people finish their sentences and taper off you don't have to cut them off. It really bothered me when you did that

[@Theembodimentchannel]

I actually share your frustration and this we a delicate balancing act. All could have spoken for an hour just from first question. Here’s the crux: Had I not kept boundaries there would have been far less useful content and one or two speakers would have dominated. This job was an insanely difficult job as a host,(very stressful actually), especially as dealing with famous trauma people there’s a sense of “scarcity”, demand and stress from sections of the audience. There’s a balance of course between structure/fairness and flow (and I did allow some to go overtime) and on the whole I’m happy I kept the boundaries I had agreed with them. These speakers are also not used to sharing time in this way too so I also want to say that they did really well too! :-) If you were hosting (are you experienced), would you have gone for allowing “rambling” or kept allocations more or less as I did? Not an easy call eh.

[@finsterthecat]

I actually appreciate the keeping of boundaries. Some of the panel I am familiar with their work others now that I got a taste of what they have to offer I am able to look them out and find out more. Thank you this was a great reset for my morning.

[@ginaiosef]

Actually this reply says it all!

[@bluemoyie8618]

@@Theembodimentchannel I liked Gabor's request for a 20-second heads-up. I think it was a good tool, and would allow the speaker to just finish their thought. If they go on too long, just give them a 2nd, final signal.

[@VandanaLightHealing]

Exactly! Poor Peter. He got cut off in mid sentence. Very disrespectful.
