Healing isn’t a goal — it’s a direction we can control.
This story was Inspired by Dr. Gabor Maté’s Healing Days webinars.
This story explores how trauma, genes, and choice shape emotional regulation.
This story reflects on how emotional regulation, awareness, and shaping our own healing is within our control.
We live in a toxic culture of chaos, with much suffering and trauma.
As a result, we become “stuck” in habitual patterns and behaviours.
Not understanding our trauma can make us feel tense and anxious, becoming numb and disconnected from ourselves and others. We stay stuck in an “emotional whirlwind”.
In the Healing Days webinars, with Gabor Maté and others, such as Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk, their teachings and practices for healing resonated strongly.
The H.E.A.L technique is a previous story I also wrote about. You can read this story here.

We can influence and control the direction of our healing, by following their guidelines and practices, and understanding what trauma really is. It’s often misunderstood, and not what we believe it is.
