The Power of Community in Healing from Trauma

In this podcast episode, the host discusses the importance of community in healing from trauma. She emphasizes the need for survivors of trauma, especially childhood trauma, to find hope, address shame, and navigate suffering. The guest speaker explains that healing trauma requires a collective effort rather than relying solely on oneself. The brain is wired to seek connections with others, and healing occurs within safe and supportive communities. By sharing experiences, receiving empathy, and feeling seen and secure, individuals can rewrite their narratives and develop durable hope. The process of healing trauma takes time and effort, and it involves revisiting and reshaping one's stories through ongoing practices.
