Healing Trauma
Episode description
Trauma can make a person feel unsafe in their own body. At that point, the
enemy that was living outside is now living inside. This time on Peace
Talks Radio, we'll talk about how trauma can hurt not only the survivor
who experiences it, but sometimes also the people and society interacting
with the survivor. There are many traumas such as childhood and adult
abuse, car accidents, surgeries, and war. There are also many ways to
nonviolently heal the internal and external conflicts that arise due to
them. Suzanne Kryder talks with three guests. Dr. Josie Chase, an expert
on healing inter-generational massive group trauma particularly in people
who are Native American. Also, Matthew Sanford, a yoga teacher, author and
paraplegic for the last thirty-nine years due to a car accident. Also Dr.
Bessel van der Kolk, MD, a pioneer in recognizing and healing trauma and
author of the book, "The Body Keeps Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the
Healing of Trauma".
