The Afterword: A Conversation About the Future of Words


Sep 7, 2019

Rebecca Davis and Belinda Bauman join us for the conclusion of our conversation about how empathetic listening and authentic sharing of trauma stories can heal the brain. 

How do we "rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn" as compassionate witnesses? Why do we avoid engaging with others who have been through difficulty?

Empathy requires a lot of work, and it takes time, energy and having the capacity to be humble. Those who have experienced trauma need patience and compassion from listeners as they share their stories if healing is to occur.

Our guests give tools and powerful insight into what systemic abuse is, and how to combat the rise of silencing those who have experienced trauma.
