What Bioneers Co-Founders Kenny and Nina Say About the Film
Kenny Ausubel: I cannot more strongly recommend that you check out the new breakthrough film about Gabor’s work, “The Wisdom of Trauma.” Definitely have a pile of Kleenex handy - you will weep with tears of transcendent transformation. Made by our friends Maurizio and Zaya Benazzo of the Science and Nonduality group, it’s an elegant work of filmmaking as well as one of the most profound stories of our time.
Nina Simons: This sensitive portrait of Gabor Maté is tender and transformative. It may change how you see the world. He is a profoundly dedicated healer, whose chosen life path has involved learning how to respond to people who’ve experienced trauma (and who are often among the most marginalized among us) in ways that are truly transformative. 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. The interconnected epidemics of anxiety, chronic illness and substance abuse are, according to Dr Gabor Maté, normal. But not in the way you might think. Here are some startling facts: - One in five Americans is diagnosed with mental illness in any given year.
- Suicide is the second most common cause of death in the US for youth aged 15-24, and kills over 800,000 people a year globally.
- Drug overdose kills 81,000 in the US annually, and
- The autoimmune epidemic affects 24 million people in the US. What is going on?
In The Wisdom of Trauma, we travel alongside physician, bestselling author and Order of Canada recipient Dr. Gabor Maté to explore why our 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, trauma and society.
