An eight-part course with Dr. Gabor Maté and Betsy Polatin

Join Dr. Gabor Maté for this eight-part course on understanding and healing trauma. Gabor shares decades of research and experience. He guides us to discover the root cause of our trauma. We begin building a relationship with it, so we can start to uncover the wisdom and reconnect to our true selves beneath the hurts and adaptations.

The course includes talks and interactive engagements with participants. We learn some of the tools offered by Gabor’s Compassionate Inquiry™ approach. We are also gently guided daily by Betsy Polatin in breath and movement, including Somatic Experiencing practices and resolution of trauma in the body. This combination invites pain, discomfort and repressed emotions to come to the surface to be experienced, witnessed and let go of in a safe, supportive setting. Acceptance, allowing, non-judgement, expression and self-compassion are the ingredients needed for healing.
