In today's podcast, Suanne will share her own personal emotional response to the events of the past year.  There is no question that the world has shared a collective trauma.  One year after the media took hold of our minds, we see clearly the attempts made by select groups to leverage existential fear and paranoia in order to craft an artificial reality with the intention of controlling people.  While every single human being has been affected by these events, we're not experiencing these conditions in exactly the same way, each of us is responding based on our unique histories, programmed beliefs, strengths, and vulnerabilities.

Past traumas have had an especially powerful effect on reactions to this pandemic. Millions of people with unhealed trauma had severe reactions to the actions of those claiming to have our best interests in mind.

What does a trauma response look like?  How can we recognize that we may be having a reactivation of past trauma and what can we do about it?  How do we move forward when, collectively, we have been the victim of trauma?

This dark time is, in truth, an opportunity to heal. Today, we look at one step in the direction of healing.
