EPILOGUE: CHOICES TO BE MADE
EPILOGUE: CHOICES TO BE MADE We are on the verge of becoming a trauma-conscious society. Almost every day one of my colleagues publishes another report on how trauma disrupts the workings of mind, brain, and body. The ACE study showed how early abuse devastates health and social functioning, while James Heckman won a Nobel Prize for demonstrating the vast savings produced by early intervention in the lives of children from poor and troubled families: more high school graduations, less criminality,…-

Domestication and the Dream of the Planet is a powerful concept introduced in The Four Agreements, delving into the ways human consciousness is shaped and controlled by societal expectations. The chapter opens with a striking observation: the life we experience, both when we are awake and asleep, is not purely our own creation but instead a dream—constantly shaped by our thoughts, perceptions, and the collective influences of society. This "dream of the planet" is an ever-evolving narrative, where the…

Just as with the challenges in our emotional and psychological states, the answers to our struggles may come slowly, without our direct awareness. Instead, we might find our way toward understanding through the simple act of living with the discomfort of the questions. Sherry walked into my…

Chapter 5: Body-Brain Connections, the intricate relationship between the body and mind has been a subject of scientific study for centuries. Early thinkers like Charles Darwin recognized that emotional expressions were not just mental states but were deeply intertwined with our physical selves. This concept is still valid today, as we understand more about how our bodies react to emotional stimuli and how these reactions shape our overall mental health. Darwin’s observations in The Expression of the…
