Brom
“That is not what you want, that is what you need. You are not made out of needs, you are made out of your dreams and desires. What is it you wish and dream of?”
Brom, Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery

Gabor Maté
“What is trauma? As I use the word, "trauma" is an inner injury, a lasting rupture or split within the self due to difficult or hurtful events. By this definition, trauma is primarily what happens within someone as a result of the difficult or hurtful events that befall them; it is not the events themselves. "Trauma is not what happens to you but what happens inside you' is how I formulate it.”
Gabor Maté, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture

Gabor Maté
“Work pressures, multitasking, social media, news updates, multiplicities of entertainment sources—these all induce us to become lost in thoughts, frantic activities, gadgets, meaningless conversations. We are caught up in pursuits of all kinds that draw us on not because they are necessary or inspiring or uplifting, or because they enrich or add meaning to our lives, but simply because they obliterate the present.”
Gabor Maté, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture

Gabor Maté
“The meaning of the word "trauma," in its Greek origin is "wound." Whether we realize it or not, it is out woundedness, or how we cope with it, that dictates much of our behavior, shapes our social habits, and informs out ways of thinking about the world. It can even determine whether or not we are capable or rational thought at all in matters of the greatest importance to our lives.”
Gabor Maté, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture

Gabor Maté
“An event is traumatizing, or retraumatizing, only if it renders one diminished, which is to say psychically (or physically) more limited than before in a way that persists.”
Gabor Maté, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture
