PROGRAM GUIDE
A 6-day guided path to understand trauma, reconnect with yourself, and begin real change
CLARITY
Understand the hidden trauma patterns that have been shaping your life for years.
Dr. Gabor Maté & Ashley Judd
How can you tell if trauma is still shaping your life today? What is trauma quietly costing you - in your relationships, your health, and the life you're not living? Why do so many people still feel stuck - even after years of therapy, books, and personal growth? What does healing actually look like - and is it really possible? Conversation between Ashley and Gabor : The missing link towards healing EXERCISE 1: Discover the survival adaptation behind one recurring struggle EXERCISE 2: Practice seeing yourself through the lens of self-compassion Replay: Q&A with Dr. Gabor Maté & Ashley Judd 
FREEDOM
Break free from the subconscious beliefs that have quietly shaped your life.
Marisa Peer
Why do you keep repeating the same patterns - even when you know exactly why? Could one hidden message be creating your fear, shame, and self-doubt? Why do so many people still feel "not enough" - even after years of therapy and personal growth? How can you rewire the subconscious beliefs that have been shaping your life for years? EXERCISE 1: Identify the subconscious belief that keeps holding you back EXERCISE 2: Live hypnosis session to strengthen self-worth and emotional safety Replay: Q&A with Marisa Peer 
PEACE
Understand how trauma shapes the way you relate to yourself and others - and begin creating healthier relationships.
Alain de Botton (founder of The School Of Life)
Why do toxic relationships feel so familiar? How does trauma quietly get in the way of your relationships? How can you stop judging yourself for the ways you've learned to survive? What does self-compassion really look like after years of self-criticism? Can forgiveness help you heal without excusing what happened? How can you stop passing your wounds on to the people you love? EXERCISE 1: Identify one painful belief you've carried about yourself for years EXERCISE 2: A guided reflection to rewrite the story you tell yourself Replay: Q&A with Alain de Botton 
SAFETY
Understand why trauma can keep your body stuck in survival mode - and begin reconnecting with a sense of safety.
Dr. Gabor Maté
A powerful real-life story showing how trauma can stay stored in the body long after the event is over. What is the science behind the trauma-body connection - and why can your nervous system keep reacting even when life feels safe? Why does trauma so often begin with disconnection from the body - and how can that disconnection show up as anxiety, shutdown, or chronic tension? Why can’t you simply “move on” - and why can the body remain stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or collapse years later? How can reconnecting with your body become a first step toward greater inner safety? EXERCISE: A guided body-based practice with Dr. Gabor Maté to reconnect with yourself and create greater inner safety. Replay: Q&A with Dr. Gabor Maté 
CALM
Learn how to regulate your brain and nervous system - and build greater calm and emotional resilience.
Dr. Andrew Huberman
+ Exclusive excerpts from the masterclasses by Dr Bessel van der Kolk and Anna Runkle (Crappy Childhood Fairy)
Why does your body still act as if the danger is real? What's really happening in your brain during anxiety, panic, hypervigilance, and emotional overwhelm? Why do you keep repeating the same painful patterns, even when you know better? Why isn't understanding enough to calm your nervous system? Can your brain really change after years - or even decades - of survival mode? Which daily habits help create lasting calm and emotional resilience? EXERCISE 1: A guided practice to help your body finally feel safe again EXERCISE 2: A powerful breathing technique to calm stress in real time Exclusive masterclass excerpt with Dr. Gabor Maté Exclusive masterclass excerpt with Dr. Bessel van der Kolk Exclusive masterclass excerpt with Anna Runkle (Crappy Childhood Fairy) Replay: Q&A with Dr. Andrew Huberman 
WHOLENESS
Reconnect with your authentic self and discover what it truly means to become whole again.
Dr. Gabor Maté
What does it really mean to move from surviving to truly living? How can you reconnect with the part of yourself that trauma never destroyed? How can you tell if you're truly healing, even when the changes feel invisible? What does a life beyond trauma actually look like? EXERCISE 1: A live Compassionate Inquiry experience with Dr. Gabor Maté EXERCISE 2: Create your own next step toward healing Replay: Q&A with Dr. Gabor Maté What If The Problem Isn't Who You Are - But What Happened To You?
Most people spend years trying to improve their lives.
They work on their confidence, their relationships, their habits, their mindset...
They read the books, listen to the podcasts, go to therapy, learn new tools...
Yet somehow, they keep finding themselves in the same place.
The same fears.
The same emotional reactions.
The same relationship struggles.
The same feeling that something keeps holding them back.
Not because they lack motivation.
Not because they're broken.
But because trauma doesn't simply disappear with time.
It often lives on beneath the surface - shaping the way you think, feel, react, connect, and see yourself, often without you realizing it.
Do any of these feel familiar?
- You understand your patterns intellectually, but still can't seem to change them.
- You overthink, overreact, or shut down in situations that shouldn't feel threatening.
- You constantly doubt yourself, even when others see you as capable and successful.
- You struggle to trust people, relax, or feel truly safe.
- You find yourself repeating the same painful relationship dynamics.
- You feel exhausted from carrying stress, tension, or emotional weight all the time.
- You often feel disconnected from yourself, as though you're living on autopilot.
- You know you're surviving, but you're not sure you're really living.
If so, there may be a reason.
Many of the struggles we carry into adulthood are not character flaws.
They are survival adaptations.
Protective responses that once helped us cope, belong, or stay safe.
The problem is that what helped you survive years ago may still be running your life today.
The good news?
Those patterns are not permanent.
Your brain can change.
Your nervous system can heal.
Your relationships can become safer.
Your sense of self can be rebuilt.
And healing is possible - no matter how long you've been carrying the pain.
During 6 transformative sessions, alongside the world's leading experts in trauma recovery, you'll discover how to understand the roots of your suffering, regulate your nervous system, reconnect with yourself, break free from old patterns, and create a life no longer defined by trauma.

What Happened at Healing Days 2025?
Twenty years of therapy didn't come close to the healing I received listening! Whole parts of my personality were explained after 60 years on this glorious planet! You brought me answers to questions I didn't even know I had about why I automatically respond to others. Thank you from my entire spirit and soul and mind.
– John
After several major traumas since early childhood, I now understand why I haven't been able to move on and find peace in certain areas. I was prevented from speaking. I had to 'keep it to myself,' which literally meant keeping everything inside without being able to release these events through speech that would be accepted and validated. The great power of words, of liberating speech, is the key to moving forward.
– Anna
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. After experiencing the loss of loved ones and other small traumas, your explanations and analysis have given me renewed desire to live.
– Valerie
Even if I work as a psychotherapist and mentor, I am learning how to speak deeply to myself with compassion, how to follow my thoughts and feelings, and how to pass that on to my son. Being here, listening to you, is my gift to that little girl inside of me.
– Elizabeth
I truly wish the Maté HEAL Method was practiced in mental health facilities everywhere. As a therapist, I can say I learned more to help clients through this program than in graduate school.
– Jane
A lot of emotions surfaced, along with tears, without any specific memories... Thank you.
– Aline
These lessons are very meaningful in the context of rebuilding oneself and recognizing one's experiences in the present.

– Allison
This is so powerful. Divine timing and I'm so glad I'm finding the answers I need to finally deal with that small part I needed to heal.
– Claudia
I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with me for a long time. I couldn't find the right counselor to help me. I was intensely listening to every word and felt like I was having a private session with you.
– Chris
Quite powerful indeed. Super grateful for all your sharing and giving freely to help many heal trauma.

I am so grateful for this. I have been on my own inner healing journey for 2.5 years now and I wanted to take this course to add to my personal growth and healing.
– Joanne
100% mind blown. I was expecting a lot but this first class has been absolutely 100% helpful and insightful. I have learned and enjoyed the advice, insight and perspective that's offered in just class one. I can't wait to see how much more mature my heart, mind, body and soul become as we continue.
