Relationship As Medicine

Will Rezin and I get specific about trauma healing techniques that have gone awry in the past.  We discuss if there could be a world where "the end of trauma" exists and how we might imagine that to happen. Will and I bring in pieces of their Vajrayana and Theravada Buddhist paths in relation to how we view suffering and how we view freedom in the fullest expression of humanity.

More about Will:

Will Rezin is a mystic, philosopher, somatic coach & trainer, and trauma integration specialist who guides individuals on the often mystical and winding journey of waking up to their own aliveness.

Will integrates 21 years of inner work, esoteric inquiry, and cultural research with 13 years of professional experience in the healing arts. Everything Will does supports his personal mission to end human suffering, and his professional mission to bring trauma-informed care into the mainstream so that it can be available to everyone who needs it, without stigma or exclusion.
