KEYPOINTS
- 01
Childhood lie ‘I'm fine’ cultures create adult disconnection — trauma = what happens inside us from what happens to us.
Gabor Maté: ~60% adults report adverse childhood experiences framing. Denial of reality as traumatised-child work. Infant feels parental pain/stress personally → worldview template. Mother loved infinitely but not always best treatment.
- 02
Trauma not only dramatic events — unmet needs and environment; kids react to environment not inherited disease.
Thousands of brain scans of mental illness — nothing diagnostic alone. Money/admiration feel-good temporary. Personality formed when brain forming.
- 03
Nuclear/war fear contexts for children's nervous systems.
Historical grandparents imprint. Conscription fears. Environment.
- 04
Compassionate inquiry into earliest years to understand present.
What must I understand about your childhood? Core method.
- 05
Good feeling from status temporary.
Don't confuse admiration with healing. Inner work.
- 06
I'm-fine emotional untruth costs relationships.
Ruin all of our relationships framing. Honesty skill.
- 07
Worldview from early personalisation of others' stress.
Not your fault; your template. Update it.
- 08
Scan null for diagnosis — people not reducible to images.
Humility in psychiatry. Story matters.
