Part 4/9:
Dr. Maté illustrates his arguments with real-life anecdotes. One story features an elderly woman lamenting the perceived decline of societal behavior compared to her youth while sharing stories of her past trauma. She confidently projected her narratives, leaning towards denial regarding her emotional scars, effectively showcasing how some individuals opt to inhabit a state of denial confronting their trauma.
This denial can extend to broader implications, manifesting within societal structures where individuals, consciously or subconsciously, shift blame towards others rather than grappling with their internal conflicts and traumas.
