Mention “trauma,” and most view it as a negative.

While it certainly can be negative, does it always have to be?

Like “stress,” is there a way to rethink trauma?

This topic is one of the many questions posted in the new documentary “Dark Night of Our Soul,” which explores the evolutionary purpose of trauma & the possibilities of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG).

As I talked about last week, your nerdy was one of the experts in the film.

Now you can see the same 30-minute clip from the full feature. I saw it for the first time last Thursday, and it was terrific.

This is a Kickstarter campaign to help raise funds to finish the entire film.

If you are in a position to help out, that would be amazing!

If you are not right now, all good. If you could share it online and tag me, that would be epic.

I am so stoked for this entire film to finish in the best manner. I genuinely believe it can potentially change many lives for the better – which is why you are reading this newsletter.

To be better – physically and mentally.

Thank you for your consideration!

Much love,
Dr. Mike

PS – Full disclosure: I did not take a dime for my part in this film as I opted to have my payment sent to the team making the movie instead. I did have expenses covered to do the interview in Costa Rica.

I know how much work the team of Jeff, Jess, Rick, and Luke have put into this, not to mention funding it up to this point. It has been a massive focal point of their lives for the past 3 years. Thank you for your help on this project!
