In this episode:
Brian Arbor and Dr. Fred Moss discuss the nature of healing and challenge some of the widely accepted standards for identifying trustworthy and effective support. We also explore the possibility that trauma may simply be a result of something that happened to us that exceeded our capacity to absorb and effectively process what occurred – and what influence we may be able to exercise in the recurring reappearance of our traumas and emotional surges. Throughout this conversation is a recurring theme that community and compassionate integration of these experiences are both critical to long-term healing.
Key Conversations:
– The power of resonant conversation and community
– Recognizing not all doctors are healers
– The Pros & Cons of medication for mental health
Quote from Dr. Fred:
“The possibility that there’s nothing wrong with you is a good place to start.”
