Welcome back to another episode of the Simon Transparently podcast! This time, Simon introduces his inspiring and dear friend Buster Rådvik, whom he recently met in person after years of virtual connection. Recorded shortly after an immersive five-day workshop, Trauma to Trust, this conversation dives into the heart of trauma healing, resilience, and relational trust. While a minor microphone issue affected the sound quality, the powerful insights and message Buster shares are too impactful not to bring to you.

In this episode, Simon and Buster reflect on their experiences from the Trauma to Trust training in Berlin, a deep dive into understanding the nervous system, fostering trauma awareness, and developing resilience through somatic practices and community. Designed to help participants form new memories of connection and belonging, this transformative workshop offers practical tools for navigating difficult moments and relating to others with a trauma-informed perspective.

Buster shares his personal journey from distrust and disconnection to healing and integration, explaining how his background in dance, psychology, and therapeutic community work has shaped his approach to trauma.
