Healing Trauma

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".
