Description
John Kim talks to Dr. MC McDonald about her new book, Unbroken. We talk all things trauma - the fact that we don't get to adulthood without some exposure to trauma, what the most common misconceptions are regarding trauma, what a trigger actually is, and what healing can look like. Unbroken starts off with a very simple idea: What if instead of seeing traumatic experience as that which breaks our spirit, we see it as that which proves our spirit cannot be broken?With Unbroken, McDonald offers a radical reframing of how we understand trauma―and a profound new approach for healing. According to McDonald, trauma occurs whenever we experience something that shatters our structures of belief about the world and our place within it. When trauma occurs, our miraculous biological systems adapt to help us survive―and sometimes this creates a constellation of mysterious symptoms that persist long after the event. If we can see these initial adaptations as natural strength responses, we come away with a new path to healing. We must tend to our neurobiological systems while we grieve our shattered beliefs and find new meaning, peeling away layers of shame as we go.You can PRE-ORDER a copy of Unbroken by Dr. MC McDonald HERE.
