Summary
Can We Heal Ourselves From Trauma? | This episode is brought to you by Essentia
It can often feel like trauma is something that will always be with us, that we will just have to carry for the rest of our lives. But accessible methods for healing are proving otherwise and giving thousands of people a new lease on life.
In this mini-episode, Dr. Hyman sits down with Dr. Jim Gordon to discuss some incredibly powerful yet simple exercises that tap into the mind-body connection to produce long-lasting healing. There are many forms of trauma and it is, unfortunately, something we will all deal with at some point in life. The good news is we can address it and come out stronger using the right tools.
Dr. Jim Gordon is the author of The Transformation: Discovering Wholeness and Healing After Trauma and is a Harvard-educated psychiatrist and a world-renowned expert in using mind-body medicine to heal depression, anxiety, and psychological trauma. He has worked with traumatized children and families in Bosnia, Gaza, Haiti, post-9/11 New York, and Parkland, among many other areas across the world facing tragedy and trauma. Dr. Gordon also works with veterans and active-duty military to address PTSD.
