Dr. Nick Wakefield: Trauma, Guilt, and the Beirut Explosion

On August 4, 2020, the unthinkable happened. 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate, stored in the port of Beirut, exploded, destroying a large part of the city, killing dozens, wounding hundreds, and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless. The country is left traumatized, with no one taking responsibility for this crime, no government support on the streets, and the people having to rely on themselves and each other. We're joined by Dr. Nick Wakefield today, a clinical psychologist at Dubai’s Lighthouse Center who specializes in trauma and PTSD, to discuss the impact of the Beirut explosion on the Lebanese people, be they in Lebanon or around the world.
