Synopsis
 |
| The Wisdom of Trauma |
Drug overdoses kill 81,000 in the US annually. An autoimmunity epidemic affects 24 million people in the US.
So the filmmakers ask the question, “What's going on?”
 |
| The Realm of Hungry Ghosts? |
In The Wisdom of Trauma, we travel alongside physician, bestselling author, and Order of Canada recipient Dr. Maté to explore why Western society is facing such epidemics.
This is a journey with a man who has dedicated his life to understanding the connection between illness, addiction, [childhood] trauma, and society.
Trauma is the invisible force that shapes our lives. It shapes the way we live, the way we love, and the way we make sense of the world. It is the root of our deepest wounds.
Dr. Maté gives us a new vision: a trauma-informed society in which parents, teachers, physicians, policymakers, and legal personnel are not concerned with "fixing" behaviors, making diagnoses, suppressing symptoms, and judging, but seek instead to understand the sources from which troubling behaviors and diseases spring in the wounded human psyche.
He points us to the path of individual and collective healing. More
