Too many people who have been deeply traumatized by COVID, violence, cancer, bankruptcy or divorce will tell you that they got past it, but they never got over it. They're not the same person as they were before. They feel more tentative, have their guard up, and don't step into anything new with two feet. They'll tell you that coping is better than not coping, but it's not the same as feeling fully alive, solid, and secure. What if there were a way to not just cope, but begin to heal from trauma to feel fully alive? In his new book, Why Cope When You Can Heal?, co-authored with Dr. Diana Hendel, our guest Dr. Mark Goulston introduces the world and now us to Surgical Empathy an approach he invented and expanded to people with PTSD that helps them to finally begin to heal.
