Reflections & Further Resources from "The Wisdom of Trauma"

What's on this page

Hello Beloveds,

On this page you will find additional resources related to The Wisdom of Trauma, a film from Science and Nonduality featuring the work and vision of Dr. Gabor Maté.   


I approach the film from the practitioner perspective of trauma-informed spiritual direction.  You can learn more about my practice here and more about me here.


On this page you will find (click to jump to the section):

  • A video with reflections on the film.
  • An audio-only version of the presentation. 
  • The slides that accompanied that presentation.
  • Blog posts of related writings.
  • A very helpful video from the Polyvagal Institute.
  • How to subscribe to my newsletter, Notice Notes, for updates on additional resources.


In addition to the film, they also recorded 17 interviews and presentations of supporting material.  They called them "Talks on Trauma," and while they are only available during the film viewing periods (or for purchase), I have written a summary with reflections and research links for each one.  You can find that material on my Wisdom of Trauma Resource page.


May you find the graces you need to do the healing work that calls you to the fullness of your life,

Trauma and the Nervous System: A Polyvagal Perspective

This is a very helpful video from the folk at the Polyvagal Institute.  It's an excellent 9-minute easy-to-understand introduction to the polyvagal theory, "the neuroscience of safety and connection."
