    Parenting Through Prolonged Trauma, with Ruth Pat Horenczyk

    Nearly three years after October 7, daily life in Israel has begun to feel more ordinary again. But beneath the surface, many of us are still carrying exhaustion, grief, uncertainty, and the effects of prolonged stress. In this episode of RAW, I speak with Professor Ruth Pat Horenczyk, a clinical psychologist and researcher who has spent decades studying trauma, resilience, emotional regulation, and post-traumatic growth. We talk about what prolonged trauma leaves behind, why some people develop PTSD while others remain resilient, and what happens when an entire society is exposed to ongoing threat. A significant part of our conversation focuses on children and families. Ruth explains how trauma can look different at different ages, why children may show distress through behaviour or physical symptoms rather than words, and what parents and teachers need to notice. We also explore how a parent's own emotional regulation can shape a child's ability to cope, and why parents can be one of the most powerful protective factors for children. We also talk about resilience as something that can be learned, and about the resourcefulness of Israeli society: the role of community, volunteering, humour, creativity and connection in helping people adapt. In this episode •⁠ ⁠How prolonged trauma affects children, parents, and families •⁠ ⁠How to recognize signs of trauma in children at different ages •⁠ ⁠Why children often express distress without saying they are afraid •⁠ ⁠How parents can help children feel safe and regulate their emotions •⁠ ⁠Why resilience can be learned •⁠ ⁠The difference between PTSD, resilience, and post-traumatic growth •⁠ ⁠How connection, humour and community help us cope •⁠ ⁠What Israeli society's resourcefulness can teach us about resilience This conversation isn't about finding a silver lining in suffering. It's about understanding what trauma leaves behind, learning to recognize it in ourselves and in our children, and exploring what helps individuals, families and communities move forward while carrying what they have been through. About Ruth Pat Horenczyk Professor Ruth Pat Horenczyk is a clinical psychologist, researcher, and professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Her work focuses on trauma, resilience, emotional regulation, and post-traumatic growth, including the psychological effects of war, terrorism, and prolonged threat.

    When War Comes Home: Relationships, Reserve Duty & the Hidden Cost to Families with Smadar Miller

    Since October 7, hundreds of thousands of Israeli reservists have been called up again and again. While much of the attention has focused on the battlefield, far less has been said about what happens when the war comes home. In this episode of RAW, I welcome back couples therapist Smadar Miller to discuss her new book, You Came Back So Suddenly, and the emotional reality facing couples and families living through prolonged reserve duty. Drawing on years of clinical experience, Smadar shares what she's witnessing behind closed doors: relationships strained by repeated separations, children constantly readjusting, intimacy disrupted, and partners trying to reconnect after experiences that are difficult to put into words. Together, we explore not only the challenges, but also what helps couples stay connected through ongoing uncertainty. In this episode •⁠ ⁠Why coming home can be as difficult as leaving •⁠ ⁠The hidden emotional toll of repeated reserve duty •⁠ ⁠How war reshapes marriages, parenting, and family life •⁠ ⁠Why intimacy and sexuality often become difficult after trauma •⁠ ⁠The impact of moral injury and prolonged stress •⁠ ⁠What children need when a parent repeatedly leaves and returns •⁠ ⁠Why self-compassion is essential for couples under pressure •⁠ ⁠What healing and resilience can look like in an ongoing war This conversation isn't about finding easy answers. It's about making space for the realities many families carry in silence, understanding that these struggles are human, and exploring what allows love and connection to survive even when life is repeatedly turned upside down. If this conversation resonates with you, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Please subscribe to RAW and share this episode with someone who may need it. About Smadar Miller Smadar Miller is a couples and family therapist specializing in relationships, intimacy, and resilience. She is the co-author of You Came Back So Suddenly, a book exploring the impact of prolonged reserve duty on Israeli couples and families during the ongoing war.

    Meditation, Trauma, and the Courage to Stay Open, with Lama Tilmann Lhundrup

    In this episode of RAW, Anouk speaks with Lama Tilmann Lhundrup, a Buddhist teacher, former monk, medical doctor, and meditation teacher whose work brings together Buddhist practice, psychotherapy, and trauma healing. Tilmann spent years in retreat with his Tibetan teacher, Gendun Rinpoche, and later taught long retreats for many years. He now lives in Germany, where he runs a retreat center in the Black Forest and co-founded the Institute for Essential Psychotherapy. In this conversation, Tilmann reflects on what meditation can and cannot do, why Buddhist mind training is not always enough for deep trauma, and how psychotherapy and meditation can support one another. The conversation also turns toward Israel and Palestine. Tilmann has been coming to Israel to support meditation teachers and practitioners, and has also begun working with Palestinian practitioners. He speaks about identity, victimhood, aggression, listening, and the way pressure can make us contract more tightly around our stories. At the heart of the conversation is a simple but radical invitation: meditation begins with doing nothing. Not correcting ourselves. Not forcing calm. Not trying to become someone else. But creating enough warmth and space for whatever is here. A conversation for anyone trying to remain human in times of fear, exhaustion, uncertainty, and division.
