"Your body was trying to protect you from horrid horrid trauma and it shut down," she says. "When you see people in trauma they keep secrets of what they did because they feel so ashamed of the choice that they made or were unable to make at the moment" She continues: "As a 10-year-old who already struggles with understanding social things is really keeping a massive secret from his mom"

On the 20th anniversary of 9/11 we discuss the tragically beautiful Academy Award nominated film Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. In this episode we discuss the unique journey of Oskar Schell as he processes the life changing event of losing the person who understood him best in the world while simultaneously living through the collective trauma of the September 11th attacks. We are joined by special guests Dr. David Paltin who is an expert in Neuro-Atypical Presentations and Andrew Rubin who is the president of Symptom Media.
