Spiritual Dimension of Trauma, Julie Yau

www.scienceand...
Until recently, trauma was thought of as an occurrence from extraordinary events such as acts of terrorism, human rights violation, war, and so forth; yet trauma may occur from any event that overwhelms our capacity to cope, and leaves us unable to recover our sense of connectedness. Trauma is a normal part of life. Trauma often occurs in our early years when we are lacking the necessary resources to fully recover. Early trauma is the constellation that forms the limited self. This limited self continues to recreate itself throughout life, often hidden in the unconscious, until the trauma is resolved. Traumatic states have the power to throw us into deep despair, yet are also capable of radical transformation, in which compas- sion and expanded consciousness may emerge. The presentation will define the nature and characteristics of trauma, as well as its destructive and generative dimensions. We will also explore why somatic trauma resolution has an intrinsically spiritual core, and how it fosters the embodiment of something essential for being.

this is a wonderful presentation. I understand so much of what she said. I recently went through almost five years of the most intense therapy of my life after the realization of my own trauma experienced during my early childhood. I had a wonderful therapist and I am grateful. He said I would be grieving in some way from now on but it would be what he called "grieving with equanimity" or what I refer to as "grieving with grace". It's somewhat like what she refers to as the balance of suffering and compassion. I'm an old guy now and I'm finally being able to begin to reconnect with by body and it's seems a new experience after a lifetime of alienation from it. I'm so grateful that there is so much more awareness of the effects of trauma and for the people like this woman who are doing the work for and helping those like myself.

Dissociative disorders stunts spiritual growth for people, but with loving care they can be helped to be reintegrated and become spiritually whole. Thank you, Julie

[@MEFbeelove]

Thank you so much for this beautiful, careful and informative presentation on trauma and its effects on the nervous system and subsequently the beliefs, behaviors and health. May we all be blessed with compassion.

[@andretomlinson4976]

Thank you once we understand how we are created by our emotions and experience this is complete truth. That thought and emotion are intrinsically linked and that all of our physical organs are connected by our nervous systems on an emotional level. Heart math explains from a scientific perspective the connection to the power of the heart in relation to the brain making us rethink what we think we know about us. Science is proving this now and supporting also the biological nature of us that is our emotional attachment system and our connection to each other through feelings and thoughts - that itself is quantum

I understand what she is saying and I am filled with hope. We need more people who understand trauma. This is a great talk.❤❤❤

This resonated with me and gives answers to the questions that keep me in fear and anxiety.

[@forfreedomssake4315]

my favourite talk ever i think ! thank you so much

[@didiydi]

This was so timely, thank you for posting! Just today I had to deal with (an ongoing) unresolved trauma and it's really challenging. This talk helped me have some perspective and have deeper understanding on how to continue with my healing. 💖

[@placevienna1269]

Described so wonderfully !

[@rosannasun99]

A good book directly related to this topic is "Waking the Tiger" by Peter Levine. Talks about this in more depth if one is interested.

[@fabd-tv]

Which chapter? He doesn't actually say much about the spiritual dimension of trauma, from what I read so far. He does mention that some people who healed trauma found an "animalistic" and spiritual dimension to their lives. He wrote that almost verbatim, without expanding much on it.

[@madhavangopalan7463]

Rosanna Sun A very good explanation. Thank you very much.

[@irenemac1545]

Wow I love your talks

[@socialweb4717]

I really wish she had addressed the TITLE "SPIRITUAL DIMENSIONS....". Great talk otherwise

[@andrewr311]

Are there any spiritual teachers who had a traumatic childhood?

[@cor-jantolkamp2506]

Ekhart tolle is one

[@ClementMcgrath]

Yes, most of them

[@BillSikes.]

What a beautiful woman...

[@RobertF-]

What she's saying is really interesting. I wonder if she is familiar with Dr. John S a r n o.

Please hindi language

[@mfrmll3786]

If i may make an observation: re. commentaries re. superficialities, i.e.., physical characteristics of speakers, of any and every kind. It would seem impossible for you to reflect on how yourselves are reflected in every caustic word formed from your brains. Clearly, you lack sensibilities adequate enough to contribute to humanity with positive attributes. Your insensitivities are what CAUSE trauma. Your observations DON'T MATTER. LOVE WILL PREVAIL. And you WILL ultimately
be LOST when the UNIVERSE dissolves you!!!!! !!

Are you also included in that? Just curious

Her voice sounds anxious and makes me uneasy. Also the dead end bleached hair is distracting.

[@Be1More]

i don't get the hair

[@boogaria554]

Yes, I do hear anxiousness in her voice. I also am very sensitive and pick up on the timber of people's voices. And yes I do feel her hair's a bit distracting as dry as it is. I think she's a lovely person though.
