It's not what happened to you. It's what your brain created. 👉 Free Course: https://skillstochange.mn.co/.../1872620 Trauma is an education, and your brain will take what happened and internalize it. So even though you had a bad experience, the experience didn't screw you up — and that's the big problem. We think it screwed us up. Gabor Maté says it's a wound, an injury to the brain. And it's not. It's an education. The brain will internalize what it witnessed. So it gives meaning to it. It creates a story, creates a feeling, creates a survival system. So it's not what happened to you that gives you panic attacks, freeze, fright, et cetera, but rather what your brain created because of the event. They didn't screw you up. But what your brain kept, internalized, your brain utilized — and now you think you're broken. You just had an experience. You've been educated in the world. It's not a good education, and now your brain is trying to give you panic attacks, anxiety, and fear because you've had bad experiences, not so good experiences. Consciously, we know it's not good. It's a bad experience. That's our consciousness. But to the unconscious, it's just an experience. We're gonna internalize it. We're gonna use it to keep you safe.
