Trauma
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!
