In this profound episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana speaks with Gopal Norbert Klein, a German trauma therapist, author of The Vagus Key, and the creator of the innovative Floating Group Therapy method. Gopal dives deep into why so many therapeutic methods fail to address the root of suffering and how unresolved childhood relationship issues are at the core of many life challenges. He shares why trauma isn’t just about revisiting the past—it’s about addressing the patterns and beliefs we recreate in the present. Together, they explore the limitations of traditional individual-focused therapy, the power of group dynamics, and how authentic connection and co-regulation play critical roles in healing. Gopal discusses practical changes therapists can make, including honest sharing and understanding the role of physical distance and relational safety.   About the Guest:   Gopal Norbert Klein is a trauma therapist specializing in attachment and developmental trauma, known for his groundbreaking approach using Floating Group Therapy and the Honest Sharing method. His best-selling book, The Vagus Key, offers insights into unlocking healing through the nervous system. Reach: https://sundaywithgopal.com/    Key Takeaways:   Symptom-focused therapy often misses the root cause: Many psychotherapists target surface-level symptoms without addressing the underlying developmental trauma. Healing happens in the present: Revisiting the past isn’t necessary—trauma can be resolved by observing how we recreate childhood relational patterns in the present. Group therapy aligns with our biology: As social beings, healing is often more effective in group settings where safety and connection are prioritized. Co-regulation over self-regulation: True healing comes from external connection and support, not just self-reliance. Therapists need personal transformation: Therapists must undergo their own internal growth to guide clients through deep transformations effectively.   Connect with Gopal:   Website:Sunday With Gopal – Join live Zoom sessions and witness Gopal’s work first hand.
