Childhood Trauma and the Process of Healing (by Daniel Mackler)

[KatiDinge]

I failed to reach the next step, grieving. One thing about drugs you mentioned in your video happened to me, but actually it helped me to understand my situation. I ate space cookies, although I do not really have experience with dope at all. I had a horrible horror trip for almost 48 hours. My subconscious was taking me totally over, it felt like a fight to stay alive and not losing my mind. It changed everything. No chance of ignoring it anymore ;)

I am lucky because my therapist thinks like you! So I have a good one, and we're working with Lifespan Integration technique, don't know if you know it. But she made me realize how much traumatized I was... and gosh, that hurts... now I can't take it anymore, I just started some antidepressant to take a break and help a bit, but I just hope it's not making me regress to dissociation stage....

Excellent. You managed to condense a lifetime of learning into one video. I am a researcher who is healing thru my work, and I stumbled upon your video. That's my addiction~chronically helping others, because it's unacceptable (in my world) to address my own emotional trauma, so I do empathetically. I come from that 1% of severe emotional trauma, and other people's tragedies have triggered severe states of mind in me. I never knew, until someone told me I was suffering from PTSD. Thank you.

Great job, Daniel! Truth liberates! Growth and not comfort should be the focus of education and the helping profession! I LIKE THIS EXCELLENT VIDEO! Viewing it and applying the concepts of self therapy would do a lot more than hours and hours spent with therapists whose goal is to ease pain and avoid suffering (which is essential to healing), quite the opposite of your ideas presented here. BRAVO! We have a whole world to heal! More power to you!

Thanks for your masterpiece: your talent in producing the videos with it's precise details: your message, your phrasing, pauses, titles, video effects, guitar music, landscapes and other images – is appreciated. I've had glimpses of enlightenment and I'm so happy inside, I can't wait to share it too with the world. I share the same potential criticism of majority of normal people and it's stigma. Because of your video, I do not have to reinvent the wheel: I just refer friends to your link.

I respect, admire and 'perhaps' love you a little for creating this and sharing it!!! never a sense of talking down, just decisive, clear compassionate comments based on experience. Your work has touched me, and your tuned wayyyyydown guitar was a nice touch. If I was nearby I'd book some sessions with you. I am extremely fortified in my suffering by absorbing your thoughts and personality.

Your video brings up some great points. Each must follow his own path. Life is the Teacher.  Most of the suffering we experience, we create. When we stop trying, everything falls into place. The dysfunction is within us, that we desire this and that. Be thankful for the dysfunction, it is your Teacher.

Excellent video and presentation !

[DanielTejnicky]

You had there lot of good points. And actually you observed almost exactly what I did. I had terrible childhud, left by mother, not exeptet by new mother - depression, suicidal even etc. not enough space to share it here. Anyways since I can remember I tried find answare why. And without anyone telling me how I did self analize and I confronted my self with all that lot of times. I confronted my parents (missunderstood ofcourse) and today I no longer suffer, I can see clearly why it was that way

Thank you for this wonderful video. You said that the use of drugs is simply a reinforcement of the dissociation, but I am wondering what you think about the use of empathogens such as MDMA as a tool to facilitate the process of self-healing? It has been shown to be helpful in the treatment of persistent ptsd. Thanks again.

@ashtebula I can't speak for Daniel, but I would say that, yes, drugs can be used for healing and growth. But it's just that most drug usage is not for that reason.

[Paseosinperro]

@ashtebula I'm not an expert but for me, using drugs for healing is more dangerous than helpful. I think drugs can let you see things you usually don't see, but may be you don't see them because you are still unable to deal with that, and by using drugs you were just forcing your self. I did it with marihuana, the only drug I have tried, with that purpose and that whats happens to me: I see and feel things that are paintful to me. Useful? may be but i really dont recommend it too much
