What Gabor Maté Reminded Me About Trauma, Healing, and Why Roseteacompanions Is Different

📚 A Bookstore, A Trauma, and A Mission

Today, something beautiful happened at the bookstore. I wandered in to escape the noise of the day… and walked right into the warm, wise words of Dr. Gabor Maté. His books stared back at me from the shelf like old friends—and instantly, I remembered why his work once shaped the way I see the world, trauma, and care.

And it is:
Every single person I know carries a trauma.

Some wear it on their sleeves.
Some bury it deep.
Some don’t even realize it’s trauma at all—they just call it “life.”

But trauma doesn’t disappear just because we ignore it.
It leaks. It spreads. It hurts the people around us, whether we mean to or not.
Unhealed people intentionally or unintentionally harm others.
And unhealthy systems? They traumatize entire societies.

 
💡 A Personal Story: My Own Trauma & Mistakes
I once didn’t know I was a traumatized child.
I grew up, still unaware, and moved into environments and countries with controlling, restrictive systems—places where people’s freedom to choose, speak, or live with dignity was denied.

I thought I was building a life.
But I was just lived the unfreedom.

And still—I chose to care.
And still—I decided to build something different.

 
🌸 Why Roseteacompanions Is Different

Roseteacompanions isn’t your average home care service.

We don’t just remind you about pills and tidy homes. We offer something different:

Freedom. Awareness. Choice. Healing.

We give people—especially seniors and those in need of home support—the chance to:

✅ Choose their care, their way
✅ Speak freely about their needs
✅ Be seen as whole humans, not just “cases”
✅ Be cared for by people who understand trauma and respect dignity

We laugh. We cry. We listen. We support.
This isn’t checklist caregiving—it’s ethical, trauma-informed companionship.

 
🧠 Inspired by Gabor Maté’s Wisdom

Gabor Maté teaches that real healing begins with awareness.
Once you name your trauma, the healing can start.
But the right environment matters—a place where freedom and compassion are alive.

That’s what we create every day at RoseteaCompanions.

So today, at the bookstore, looking at Dr. Maté books i remembered all the people out there trying to survive broken systems and still find their voice.
