Episode 5: TRAUMA

from Bookpile Hosted by Andrew Katay and Natasha Moore

The End of Trauma: How the New Science of Resilience is Changing How We Think about PTSD, by George A. Bonanno (2021) / Long Island Compromise, by Taffy Brodesser-Akner (2024) || Is trauma ubiquitous, or is the term over-used and therefore now becoming meaningless or even unhelpful? Is trauma something people mostly overcome or mostly have to carry with them forever? The novel and the non-fiction book Tash and Andrew look at in this episode seem to be making some very different claims on this, so the question kind of becomes: do you trust non-fiction or fiction to tell the truth more adequately?
