This is a beautiful book, filled with deep mystical principles complemented by established psychological and scientific knowledge and expertise. You'll gain a profound understanding of just how prevalent both personal and collective trauma are and just how impactful the effect of trauma is in our lives and on our world today.

As Thomas writes in the book, "It’s as if a massive elephant sits in the human living room; few may see or acknowledge it, but we are all impacted by its presence. Everything about our societies—from geopolitics to business, climate, technology, health care, entertainment and celebrity, and much more—is dominated by the existence of this elephant, by the residue of our collective trauma. And as long as we fail to acknowledge or adequately care for it, the elephant will grow larger."

Although the magnitude of trauma could be overwhelming, the book is ripe with hope and possibility, along with specific tools and processes that Thomas teaches around the world to help people heal.

If you find yourself despairing about what you can do to help heal the world, read this book.

Ich habe mich auf Seite 130 entschieden, das Buch wegzulegen. Mir sind folgende Dinge besonders aufgefallen:

Das Buch ist wirklich sorgfältig verfasst, was Sprache und das Erklären von Begriffen, Konzepten und Zusammenhängen anbelangt. Das, in Kombination mit den nächsten Punkten, ist überaus gefährlich.

Es werden wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse ab und an verwendet und in ein mystisches Narrativ verwoben, mit einer unbegründeten Selbstverständlichkeit, als würden das eine und das andere miteinander zusammen gehören und sich ergänzen.

Dabei wird der Ursprung von Begriffen und Konzepten des Mystischen, die teils willkürlich vom Autor benannt und erfunden wurden, nie erläutert. Es wird von Licht, Ebenen, Dimensionen und derartigem gesprochen, ohne dass nachvollziehbar ist, woher denn bitte diese Konzepte stammen und inwieweit deren Existenz zu begründen sind - denn er selber tut es nicht. Ist einfach da, zack, spirituelle Wissenschaft kurz mal selbst erschaffen.

Wenn also (Trauma-)Forschung von Soziolog*innen, Psycholog*innen, Psychiater*innen usw. gleichberechtigt auf einer Ebene mit willkürlichen, spirituellen Narrativen in einem schön und wissenschaftlich verfassten Text in Verbindung gebracht werden - dann wird die lesende Person benebelt und getäuscht. Mir scheint es, als würde er einfach nur seine Workshops (die hat er nämlich auch) verkaufen wollen, denn die erwähnt er auch.

Das sind harte Worte, aber mir geht es ziemlich auf die Nerven, dass ein an sich so wichtiges Thema damit in den Dreck gezogen wird. Dabei wäre es an sich doch ein wertvolles Buch, wenn der Autor auf die spirituellen Willkürlichkeiten verzichtet und sich lediglich auf die Metaphern und Bilder beschränkt hätte. Und sich vielleicht an die ein oder andere anerkannte Zitationsweise wissenschaftlicher Befunde im Rahmen populärwissenschaftlicher Werke gehalten hätte.

Denn an der Sprache und dem Niveau, auf welchem einer breiten Masse Ideen erklärt werden, hat es wirklich nicht gelegen. Aber in der Form ist das Täuschung und Manipulation.

Und es ist ein weiteres Werk, bei welchem ich den Verdacht schöpfe, dass schon bestehende Ideen aus dem wissenschaftlichen Bereich modifiziert und mystisch verziert niedergeschrieben werden. Vielleicht sich lieber an das Erforschte halten und Zeit darin zu investieren, wie man mit Metaphern komplexe Ideen anschaulicher machen kann, ohne das Bedürfnis zu haben, dem ganzen noch einen eigenen Spin zu geben mit willkürlich erfundenen Ideen und pseudo-spirituellen Ebenen. Damit ist nun wahrlich niemandem geholfen, und vor allen Dingen nicht den Traumatisierten.

"Healing Collective Trauma: A Process for Integrating Our Intergenerational and Cultural Wounds" authored by Thomas Hübl and Julie Jordan Avritt delves into the complexities of trauma, emphasizing its impact on both the individual and the collective. The book advocates for a holistic approach to healing that considers not only the psychological and physiological ramifications of trauma but also its intergenerational and cultural dimensions. Drawing from scientific and spiritual perspectives, the authors provide insights into the interconnected nature of trauma and offer practical solutions for collective healing. Here's a summary of the key points discussed in the book:

1. Understanding the Far-Reaching Impact of Trauma: The book elucidates how trauma can profoundly affect individuals and communities, shaping their perceptions, behaviors, and even their physical well-being. It highlights the lasting implications of trauma on the nervous system and emphasizes the significance of addressing trauma to prevent the development of severe conditions like PTSD.

2. Exploring the Soul's Role in Trauma: Integrating spiritual dimensions, the book emphasizes the role of the soul in the healing process. It describes the interplay between space, energy, and structure within the human body, underscoring the significance of cultivating attuned relationships and fostering connections to promote holistic healing.

3. Analyzing the Collective Nature of Trauma: The authors delve into the concept of collective trauma, examining how historical and intergenerational traumas permeate societies and affect successive generations. They illustrate how trauma can travel across groups and lead to a perpetuation of dysfunctional behaviors and coping mechanisms.

4. Emphasizing the Need for a Collective Healing Approach: Stressing the interconnectivity of trauma, the book advocates for a collective approach to healing that encourages group participation and communal processing. It emphasizes the power of presence, attunement, and shared experiences in facilitating the healing journey for both individuals and communities.

5. Illuminating the Healing Process: The book presents a structured blueprint for group healing, highlighting the importance of acknowledging trauma, navigating the waves of denial and eruption, and ultimately embracing the collective voice for transformation. It underscores the significance of integrating light into the healing process, drawing parallels to the Japanese art of kintsugi, where brokenness is not concealed but illuminated and celebrated.

"Healing Collective Trauma" offers a comprehensive perspective on trauma, weaving together scientific insights and spiritual wisdom to illuminate the intricate nature of individual and collective healing. By emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and addressing trauma on various levels, the book provides a compelling narrative that encourages readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and communal reconciliation.

-

This book by Thomas Hübl and Julie Jordan Avritt offers a comprehensive exploration of trauma's impact on individuals and communities. While the book attempts to provide a holistic understanding of trauma, it falls short in several key aspects, prompting a 2-star rating. The book's significant drawback lies in its overly theoretical and abstract approach, which may alienate readers seeking practical guidance. The complex integration of spiritual concepts alongside scientific insights often creates a convoluted narrative that may be challenging for readers to grasp, especially those without a strong background in psychology or spirituality. Furthermore, the book's lack of concrete case studies and real-life examples to illustrate its theoretical concepts weakens its practical applicability. The absence of tangible, relatable stories or experiences may hinder readers' ability to connect with the material and apply the suggested healing processes to their own lives. The language used in the book tends to be overly academic and jargon-heavy, potentially deterring a broader readership from fully engaging with the content. The dense and inaccessible writing style may limit the book's accessibility and relevance to a wider audience interested in exploring the topic of trauma and healing. Overall, while "Healing Collective Trauma" presents an ambitious and potentially valuable exploration of trauma and its healing processes, its overly theoretical approach, lack of practical examples, and complex language ultimately hinder its effectiveness in conveying its message to a broader readership.

I'm incredibly grateful this book has been written and that the work underlying the narrative is in the world. There is a tremendous strength here. More people should read this book and share in this work. I gave the book 5 stars and I mean it. I'd be incredibly grateful if I were able to participate in the group work discussed here.

That being said, the one piece that disappointed me is the commitment to a utopian analysis of economic forces; the causes and conditions in that arena are structural (see Harry Braverman on Monopoly Capital for example) where the book seems to suggest that if corporations and bosses just dealt with their various traumas then corporations wouldn't behave in antisocial ways. I'm not sure if this is just what Hubl and his co-thinkers believe or is related to access to funding from New Age wealth. I'm not counterposing the advances described and asked for in this book with working class social movements but I'm not willing to deny the latter are necessary.

See pp 172, 176, 182, 189, 203, 206, 210 re engaging with this tension/apparent lack.

This quote from the epilogue (pp. 219-20) though broad strokes though shows what is inspiring to me about the contributions of the book: "[...] the avoidance of trauma shows up as an inability to meet life, which is the foremost symptom of separation. Circumventing awareness of trauma and its effects is the most essential form of spiritual bypassing. Too often, we naively seek only 'light and positivity,' or we spend hours or lifetimes using a meditation or other witness practice to unconsciously distance ourselves from the pain and grit of our own and others' suffering. Our intentions are good, but by avoiding the raw nakedness of what is real in an endless search for the ideal, we miss the deep spiritual intimacy that can only be experienced through a willingness to profoundly be in and with the painful dark. Of course, this is much too difficult to do alone. When we come together, willing to witness and receive one another's pain without judgment, without turning away, without minimizing or attempting to vanquish, we discover trust, connection, and healing release, We uncover our essential unity, held in the generous embrace of the Divine."

What I wished was that there was some engagement with how that work intertwined with the project of building a team to stop wars, end exploitation and oppression... engaging perhaps with the developing liberation psychologies and theologies/engaged Buddhist practice.

[Avory Faucette · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book blends science and the metaphysical to look at the collective effects of trauma and dig into the possibilities of collective healing. While I've seen a lot of the "sciencey" bits in other books, and some of the spiritual side, what this book uniquely offers is a specific framework for collective trauma processing (most useful for those already experienced in working with trauma) as opposed to doing solo work or working in specific 1-on-1 relationships. Unfortunately, this model itself is pretty impossible during COVID-19, but there are still some gems to take away, especially for those who are not already familiar with intergenerational trauma. I appreciate the focus on time and perspective in Hübl's writing, and the final chapter is particularly interesting in addressing what a future might even look like given our current state of apocalypse.

[J. Moyer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great book to learn what collective trauma is and what you can do to start healing. What I like most is the spiritual quality of the book that does not contradict the current knowledge of the science we have at our disposal.

[Elf · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hubl considers himself a modern mystic and I am always wary of those who cast such aspersions on themselves. It is the time-tested manner in which gurus set themselves up. However, his writing is affable, perhaps simplistic to some, and a reassertion of the need for science and spirituality to come together for the healing of traumatised humanity. A worthy venture, I say.

Many sages have pointed in the direction that Hubl takes. Among them, he mentions Ramana Maharshi, Jung, Aurobindo, Joseph Campbell, Ken Wilber, the mystical traditions of Judaism, art and artists and more. The usual symbols and concepts are bandied about - Enso, Karma, Shadow, fragmentation, etc. These are again linked to more modern concepts involving computerese, holograms, neuroscience and so on.

However, Hubl has a refreshing way of bringing these things together to address the fundamental issue of healing a traumatised humanity that keeps re-traumatising itself. Non-integration of hurtful past traumas that in their own unique and specific ways have damaged every collective on the plane results in the repetition of painful cycles of hate and murder and the spread of the tentacles of negativity that seek to bring humanity to an apocalyptic end, he suggests. How is one to let divine intelligence educate this mess of mass humanity?

Hubl seeks to provide an “exploration of the symptoms, habits and unconscious social agreements that collective trauma creates” and “offers possibilities of coming together in revolutionary ways to directly address out generational and cultural traumas to heal ourselves and our world”. He seems to be qualified enough to make an effort in this direction as he is famous for his global workshops that seek to heal deep collective traumas in those willing to make the ‘hero’s journey’ as it were into the dark and out into the light.

Hubl, who has combined a medical background with his mystical experiences and learnings, is up-to-date and well versed in the psychology of trauma. He speaks of complex trauma and developmental trauma. He knows their trajectory and effects on traumatised individuals and how it affects those around them or whole societies. Chapter 3 is devoted to the ‘material science of trauma’.

He lauds Dr Christian Bethell and associates for their notion of ‘child flourishing’ to counter the effects of trauma. There is the movement from a trauma-based to a trauma-informed society. He affirms that trauma response is a product of the nervous system’s ‘evolutionary intelligence’. He cites the polyvagal theory to make the link between trauma and social environment. Above all, “trauma breaks relation; it damages human capacities for trust, connection and mutuality”.

From these psychological and scientific spaces, Hubl jumps to what he calls the subtle or mystical science which “arises from the substance of the sacred, the Mystery - from that which I call God”, controversial in modern times as God goes by ten thousand names and also stands for that which cannot be named, referring to a quality both immanent and transcendent. He again goes back to the common language of writers like Fritjof Capra to try and connect science and spirituality as a means of healing.

As above, so below. As without, so within. Know thyself. And so on. The direction Hubl takes is towards the inner awakening - kensho, satori, sahaja, metanoia, nirvikalapa samadhi, jnana, turiya,and turiyatita. Incarnation into body allows for a soul to grow, to arrive from the realm of light into an almost incomprehensible story of humanity and return to the light with enlightenment!

Much of what he traverses is common knowledge to the psychonauts who emerged in the 60s through their drug experiences and self and social engineering experiments. The Subtle. Causal space. Energy. Structure. The spiral or gyre of transformation of individuals and collectives, all looking for the fulfilment of the Aquarian Conspiracy. All the old stuff is recycled by him in a fresh manner - the nervous system or subtler nadis, scope for becoming, individuation, space-time-rhythm as the basis of perception and the flow of life. He identifies how ruptures can take place in this flow with negative, harsh consequences for self and others. The solution is to activate relational intelligence, attunement, and presence achieved via contemplation.

Chapter 4 on “The Architecture of Social Trauma” is painful reading beginning with the horrible description of the lynchings in Georgia of blacks by whites who claimed Christian identity and Biblical authority for the killing of the cruel and despotic planter Hampton Smith. This is where he brings in the idea of inter, trans or multi-generational trauma. If this is a vertical line through humanity, historical trauma is the horizontal field it impacts for the worse.
He lists the genocides and holocausts of the past century that have accentuated collective trauma. Jews, Native Americans, Palestinians, Blacks, Koreans under the Japanese, Armenians, the victims of partitions of nations, the Dalits in India, etc are all afflicted by trauma. Perpetrators and victims are trapped in this space.

Hubl then goes into the diagnosis of symptoms of collective trauma, linking it to both older and contemporary scenarios, and goes into aspects like trauma bonding, reminiscing trauma, identifying tendencies for it to manifest. The book is replete with case studies of sorts to illustrate critical points and the useful effects of some meditation and other techniques and a whole range of exercises that can help the traumatised heal.

Overall, the book is a refreshing new approach using older mystical and meditative systems but combining their insights with those gained by contemporary studies and therapies seeking to resolve individual and collective traumas. It’s an easy and worthwhile read and encourages me to pursue my trajectory as a reclusive psychonaut.

After I attended a workshop on trauma informed care last week for work, the absolute queen that my mother is recommended Hubl to me. This book has it all! I was pleasantly surprised to see a variety of topics, including systems science, the hero’s journey, neuroscience, rising exposure to trauma information through technology, and Cartesian dualism being replaced by an understanding of integrated wholes.

Deep, exceptional read. Provides an understanding of the pervasive role that collective trauma plays in our lives. No culture can avoid or escape it's history. Hubl writes with great insight, passion and hope that we can heal and evolve by facing these truths and freeing ourselves from these burdens. Highly recommended!

In Healing Collective Trauma we learn that there is a single cause for all individual psychological and behavioural dysfunction as well as all societal, political, environmental and economic dysfunction as well.

And a single cure for it all, too. That cure can be found in a personal discipline and collective practice.

It is not like this idea is foreign to western thought. A core Christian teaching is that all of individual and societal ills result from the Fall in the Eden Garden and are atoned through the Crucifixion of Christ, actualized into the present through our devotion and participation in religious activity.

Hübl’s analysis is slightly different. The cause of it all isn’t the eating of an apple but unhealed, historical, collective trauma incurred as a result of war, genocide, and, racial hatred and annihilation. And, the cure is … well, it would be best to attend one of his workshops or training sessions for that. His accolytes, as quoted in the book, would certainly agree.

I suspect that leading those workshops and trainings Hübl is a powerful presence. While I haven’t attended one, I suspect if I were to do so I would be held in the thrall of his mysticism. In the workshop I would be carried along by the implicit hope that his message contains, the attainability of that healing of self and society. At the midday break I would line up to buy this book.

Hübl’s writing is highly repetitive, full of metaphor and invented or obscure words. This discourse begs us to go along with his authoritative assertions of the nature of human existence. I couldn’t help but reflect that his way of speaking was much like I was taught in my training on clinical hypnosis, the methodology of putting people into trance.

But rather than being held in his we-space of shared presencing (a sample of the language saturating the book) skepticism troubled me increasingly through the reading. I just couldn’t accept that by my participation in his workshop process I would ease the suffering of my ancestors caused by trauma and at the same time safeguard the wellbeing of my descendants.

In the book there is a description of me — me in my unenlightened, constricted state that just couldn’t go along with Hübl’s diagnosis and cure. I would be considered by Hübl and his accolytes as “overidentified with my ego structure, my awareness contracted, and my capacities for insight and empathies are reduced” (Chapter 6).

Ouch! And I was under the illusion that it wasn’t my ego at play here, but his.

Two other things bothered me. This book has two authors. Only one is named on the cover, Thomas Hübl. The other’s name does appear on the title page and at the back identified as a professional ghostwriter and collaborator. She is female. I could detect her hand at several places in the book with its clear and direct style of relating the wisdom and experience of others. Quite a contrast to what I suspect was Hübl’s own writing in the book.

The second troubling thing is the inclusion of workshop protocol and tools. I have no doubt that Hübl’s workshops are immensely powerful. However, I wonder about the ethics of that power falling into the hands of those who simply want to trade on his process without sufficient background in insuring participant safety and wellbeing. While I recognize that Hübl wants his process to become a movement, and from there to become the dominant culture, the how-to provided seems rather treacherous to me in a pay-for-personal-development workshops sort of world.

By the end of the book I had quite tired of Hübl’s frankly narrow and simplistic view of what is wrong with us all.

[Itai · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a mixed bag. I'll start with the positive. Hübel presents a very potent call to action: collective trauma is real, and it requires healing. As opposed to individual trauma, which requires one-on-one therapy, collective trauma cannot be approached in the same way. A group process is required — that is the case made by Hübel, and I have to agree. He also draws an interesting parallel between how we function as individuals and how we function as a community or society, and how a traumatized group within a society affects the whole.

I have two major issues, though. As a book that talks about healing, it is painfully lacking. The process — the flagship treatment offered by Hübel, his “medicine,” his insight — is covered in a single section of the book, and even that section paints only broad strokes of what happens during his CTIP retreats. I understand that there's no replacement for attending one, but I truly hoped to get more detail on what happens there, without having to pay a significant amount of money to either attend or take one of the courses he offers. It's not a blatant advertisement lacking any real content, but still, I hoped for more “juice.”

The second issue is the metaphysical and spiritual sections of the book. I understand that Hübel defines himself as a modern mystic, but some of his writings border on — and even go beyond — the illegible. Here's one quote:

“Every person’s 4D interior is situated within the frequencies of the social environment; holographic wavefields are nested matrices.”

This is indicative of some of the writing in the book, which I disliked, even though I do catch his meaning.

The book has laudable qualities but lacks what I wanted most: a practical guide for facilitating processes such as the one Hübel offers.

3.5 ⭐

Très bonne introduction à l'étude des traumas, autant dans leurs manifestations individuelles, mais aussi collectives qui s'alimentent mutuellement. J'apprécie le dialogue entre les deux, nous donnant ainsi une responsabilité individuelle mais aussi collective à s'asseoir dans les parties sombres de notre existence pour pouvoir s'émanciper de la violence et de la toxicité de nos systèmes. Le passé est encore bien vivant dans notre manière d'entrer en relation avec le monde, et les traumas sont effectivement des réactions intelligentes qui peuvent se transformer en pourriture.

J'ai trouvé intéressant le dialogue entre la recherche scientifique des traumas et la spiritualité de l'auteur. Je pense que ces types de dialogues sont nécessaires pour cesser le clivage parfois néfaste entre des manières de comprendre et d'interpréter le monde. Évidemment, mes croyances ne concordent pas nécessairement avec la sienne, mais sa vision holistique du monde est intéressante pour une intégration complète des traumas. On voit bien que souvent, la recherche scientifique peut s'agencer avec certaines pratiques spirituelles ancestrales, et que le vocabulaire, quoique différent, tente de transmettre le même message.

Seul hic dans ma lecture : il y a énormément de répétitions, et je pense que le livre aurait pu être plus compact, "to the point". Ça l'a rendu ma lecture ennuyeuse à certains moments.

Pros - this book really talks about generational trauma and how it’s based down not only by family & cultural behavior & actions, but also through genetics. This was extremely instructional and I enjoyed these parts immensely. It was very thought provoking in introducing historical accounts of generational & collective traumas throughout different cultures and it made me think through certain world views differently.

Cons - this book is a little more new age-y than I specifically loved. But I also realize that many most mystical thought processes are based in truth so the thoughts about energy cannot be totally discounted. I think it’s important to read with an open mind to learn but also with a discerning mind to understand what is truth and what is not.

[Tsinoy Foodies · Rating 3 out of 5]

Trauma is real. It is an neuroplasticity effect of evolutionary survival response from a negative stimuli.
This book suggest supplementing scientific theraphies with spirituality.
There are a lot of scientific studies showing the positive effects of faith and beliefs.
However, I'm not sure how one can be reach attunemt and become spiritually aware of space (consciousness structure), qi or energy (intelligence and insight) and akashic records (library of energy memoir) just by reading this book.

The beginning and several middle chapters were so helpful and informative to looking at collective trauma! I had a little trouble understanding Hubl's thoughts on the spiritual side, as well as some of his mystical hypotheses about the present changing the past. This book did have some guidance towards healing, but for me, it was inpactful to see how collective trauma is formed and how it plays out in every culture and society on earth.
