Summary

Ken Rosato fills in for Mark Simone. The Catholic school shooter, Robin Westman, could have had mental issues stemming from being transgender that motivated him to cause yesterday's massacre. Ken takes your calls! Ken interviews Dr. Norman Fried, Trauma and Bereavement Specialist. One of the most significant factors that creates trauma is a lack of safety. Dr. Fried breaks down his technique of psychologically calming down children who have Trauma due to a tragic event in their lives, like yesterday's shooting in Minneapolis. Mental illness is a serious topic that needs to be discussed in children and adults.
