Misunderstanding of Trauma
A fun conversation with Dr Thomas Kelley on how a simple understanding of how the mind works, free's people from their thinking about themselves. I often get taken by the simplicity of the conversations on the podcast and this one was no different. While expecting a big complex old explanation, I was taken back by how simply Tom shares.
Understanding where experience comes from is the birth of self responsibility and the absence of blame.
- Trauma exists while we think it does
- We make the connection in our own mind
- When we stop connecting the dots
- Understanding is not intellectual
- Whatever people think looks like the truth
- Everyone wants well-being
- Everyone has perfect well-being
- Children rest in well-being easier
- When you forgive someone you let yourself off the hook
- Trauma can become an important part of self image
- People think they are their thoughts
- Mental health bubbles up when your mind clears
- Principles are fundamental truths
- All answers are in simplicity
- Getting people to listen from not knowing
- Nothing happens until insight
- Complexity collapses into simplicity
- We always know when something is not right
- We know when someone is truly present
