Healing Trauma: A Conversation with Lucinda Gordon Lennox
When I think about what is trauma, I always look at it from a healing perspective. It's much less about what might have happened in the past, but more about what are we still holding on to in our systems that's unprocessed, because that will be causing havoc in Today.
