This week's guest is author and Jungian psychotherapist Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, PhD.

The lasting effects of individual trauma are now widely recognized. But what of the consequences of trauma two, three or four generations down the line?

Tirzah's book Wounds Into Wisdom makes a compelling case that trauma legacies can be transformed and healed.

This week's guest is Dr. Howard Schubiner, director of the Mind Body Medicine Center at Providence Hospital in Southfield, Michigan and Clinical Professor at Wayne State University School of Medicine.

According to Dr. Schubiner, our chronic pain is often a learned response or association, meaning that we have conditioned ourselves to associate a trigger with a reaction.

Dr. Schubiner suggests that we can "re-wire" our neural circuits to undo this conditioning using his Mind-Body approach. 

If you're suffering from chronic pain or have friends and family that do, Dr Schubiner is well worth a listen.

This week's guest on Being Human is Dr Will Van Derveer. Will is the founder and medical director of the Integrative Psychiatric Healing Center where he has practised integrative psychiatry for 15 years.
