7. Der Vagus-Schlüssel zur Traumaheilung

Almost everyone today is affected by attachment and developmental trauma. This frightening realisation led the well-known trauma therapist Gopal Norbert Klein to develop a simple, highly effective healing method: honest sharing: We share with others what is perceptible in us, unfiltered, in a safe setting. Why is honest sharing so healing? Trauma arises because as a child we experienced not being okay in contact with our parents. Our nervous system went into a state of alarm, which continues to this day. Healing now happens as soon as we finally experience contact with other people as safe. When we make the experience: No matter what is inside me, what thoughts, feelings, sensations I have - I am allowed to be like this. The vagus nerve is then activated and the nervous system is harmonised. We feel relaxed and ready for life.
