Dr. Sherry Hamby, professor of psychology at the University of the South in Sewanee, TN, counsels us on current-day trauma and how to search for resilience.  Ongoing negativity, name-calling, misinformation, lies, and outrageous verbal abuse from newsmakers without empathy for others can be damaging, whether directed personally or not.
School shootings affect entire communities and when days and weeks of protest for change from elected officials are ignored it is called institutional betrayal.
Resilience may come in the form of introspection or political action. 

A brief bonus interview with Dr. Hamby asks how old is too old to run for political office.
