I've been doing lots of reading over the past few years, about mental health, trauma and related issues.
It seems more and more of us struggle dealing with life and our own minds.
It's hard to find the exact help we need, gps will throw medication our way, that bit is easily accessible and dont get me wrong, medication can be an important contributor to recovery.
What is much harder to access is the right kind of therapy. This is leading to a lot of people seeking out self help books, paid casts etc.
The quality and suitability of some materials can often be very helpful but frequently the self help 'industry' can lead us in directions which are counter productive.
There are several sources I continually return to, reliable and cross referenced with current learning and research in various therapies.
In light of this I've started this thread to post links to films interviews and reading which I have found helpful.
Hope other people do as well.
 
A good place to start is with Gabor Maté.
I've chosen this interview with Dr Rangan Chatterjee as his YouTube channel and website are mines of great material.
 
Watch the trailer to Dr Maté's brilliant film, The Wisdom of Trauma.



Below is a link to the full length film. There is a donation to make but it's more than worth it, plus money goes to the not for profit foundation which does great work. I've gone back to watch it more than once.

Sadhguru is the wisest man in the cosmos in my view. Ancient but timeless philosophy. Modern therapy has pretty copied these Yogic techniques.
Try not to smile when listening to Sadhguru.

Inspirational stuff. I know it's long but even watching the first 2 minutes is worth it. Sounds like a narrow discussion from the title but in fact encompasses so much.

It might feel like you're pissing in the wind at times by posting stuff like this but we are, I think and hope, embracing as a society both trains of thought and they will both meet.
This sort of stuff comes from evolution anyway.😀
Only watched about 60 seconds btw. 3 hours?

1 hour 53 soapy. Not worried about the pissin in the wind thing. If I hear something like this interview which triggers a load of eureka moments, it feels like I have a duty to share it giving people the opportunity to experience the same.
You're there right Soapy, both are meeting, there are lots of connections being made between science, spirituality/therapy and psychology, it offers humanity a lot of hope.

Looks like loads of ad breaks and nobody could watch that without going to make a cup of tea. 3 hours of your life is probably about what it takes.😉
