Healing Collective Trauma

A Process for Integrating Our Intergenerational and Cultural Wounds

De: Thomas Hübl, William Ury - foreword

Narrado por: Daniel Henning

Spiritual teacher Thomas Hübl has spent years investigating why it is that old and seemingly disconnected traumas can seed their way through communities and across generations. His work culminates in Healing Collective Trauma, a new perspective on trauma that addresses both its visible effects and its most hidden roots. Thomas combines deep knowledge of mystical traditions with the latest scientific research. "In this way", writes Thomas, "we are weaving a double helix between ancient wisdom and contemporary understanding".

Thomas details the Collective Trauma Integration Process, a group-based modality for evoking and eventually dissolving stuck traumatic energies. Providing structured practices for both students and group facilitators, Healing Collective Trauma is intended to build a practical tool kit for integration.

Including essays contributed by experts such as Dr. Gabor Mate, Dr. Otto Scharmer, Dr. Christina Bethell, and Ken Wilber, Healing Collective Trauma offers not just an advanced look at community trauma but also a hopeful glimpse of the future. As Thomas declares, "Together, I believe we can and must heal the 'soul wound' that marks us all. In so doing, we will awaken to the luminous possibility and profound potential of our true, mutual nature as humankind".

most chipper and pedantic performance

this book is absolutely amazing and this performance is driving me crazy. as heartful and soulful as the content of this book is, The performance is light-hearted cognitive and highly missattuned. hard to connect with the material with such a missattuned performance.

Excellent Information, cold delivery

I'm wildly surprised by the narrator choice for this title. Thomas' work is outstanding... deep, sensitive, expansive and deeply personal and transpersonal. The narration, while competent, is cold, distancing, superficial. With respect to the narrator, who would be an excellent selection for plenty of intellectualized nonfiction, he's not a great choice for a rich, mysterious journey such as the one Thomas offers in this book. I love the work deeply. I'd return this book due to the disconnect of the narration selection if I wasn't so committed to the work.

the message for NOW

empowering and respecting of each of us ...and hope grounded in our humanity if we choose wholeness

Great information!

There is hope for us to start to work for a better world for us and the generations to come.
Thanks Thomas!

Must Listen!

As an alternative therapist deeply immersed in the realms of holistic wellness and energy healing, I found Thomas Hübl's "Healing Collective Trauma" to be a profound exploration of how collective trauma shapes societies and individuals alike. Hübl delves into the intricacies of shared trauma experiences and offers innovative methods to address and heal these deep-seated wounds. His approach aligns seamlessly with my practice, emphasizing the interconnectedness of individual and collective healing.

One of the most striking aspects of the book is Hübl's examination of historical traumas and their lingering effects on contemporary society. He highlights how events such as wars, natural disasters, and systemic oppression leave indelible marks on the collective psyche. This resonated with my work in crisis intervention and domestic violence advocacy, where understanding the broader context of trauma is crucial for effective healing.

Hübl’s insights into the somatic dimension of collective trauma are particularly noteworthy. He discusses how trauma is not just a psychological phenomenon but is also deeply embedded in the body. This perspective aligns with my practice of energy healing, where I often observe how unaddressed trauma manifests as physical ailments. Hübl provides practical techniques for somatic experiencing, which can be integrated into various therapeutic modalities to help individuals process and release stored trauma.

Another highlight is Hübl's emphasis on the importance of community and relational healing. He underscores the necessity of creating safe spaces where individuals can share their stories and experiences, fostering a sense of connection and mutual support. This mirrors my own approach in couples counseling and group therapy, where the healing power of shared experiences and empathetic listening is paramount.

Hübl also delves into the role of spirituality in healing collective trauma, advocating for a holistic approach that incorporates spiritual practices alongside psychological and somatic therapies. This integrative perspective is particularly relevant to my work, where I often blend traditional therapeutic techniques with spiritual and metaphysical practices to support holistic wellness.

Overall, "Healing Collective Trauma" by Thomas Hübl offers invaluable insights and practical tools for addressing the complex layers of trauma that affect us all. It is a compelling read for anyone committed to understanding and healing the collective wounds that shape our world, and it has profoundly influenced my approach to therapy and healing.

Do it Yourself Spirituality

Another book of do it yourself spirituality! never a mention of the Grace of a Real Guru who is the True agent of change and transformation AND ancestral healing. caters to the westerner in everyone...take heaven by storm kind of attitude. it's the Grace of God that heals not one's own meager attempts to connect with the light. Hubl, although well intentioned, is just another wanna be spiritual teacher. My advice..find a real Guru and submit to that one! that one will purify you of your ancestral wounds.
