Summary

If there is anything we know about trauma, it’s that it depends on disintegration and isolation to do its dirty work. And if there is anything we know about its healing, it’s that the presence of others is the beginning of integration, which leads to the creation of beauty and goodness in the face of painfully broken stories. But it’s tricky: for the very thing we need the most—the presence of loving relationships—is often the context in which our traumas have initially taken place. Listen in as Curt and Pepper talk about how we can begin to practice the presence of God and of others—the presence that we need despite our terror that it is something we won’t be able to survive.
