This week, Thomas sits down with psychotherapist, cultural analyst, author, and educator Dr. Laura Calderón de la Barca to discuss the growing global movement for collective trauma healing and explore why addressing our shared wounds is vital to addressing today's biggest systemic crises. They dive deep into how trauma-informed media can decrease cultural polarization, and explain why the climate movement and contemplative spirituality must become trauma-informed to activate the global immune system and liquefy the frozen trauma that’s holding us back from real progress, presence, and authentic spiritual growth. ✨ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube: 👉 https://youtu.be/4Sp4hFRda-A Video episodes are typically posted at 8am PT/ 11am ET For more episodes of the Point of Relation podcast, visit: https://pointofrelationpodcast.com/ Join Thomas and leading psychologists, clinical practitioners, artists, teachers, and cultural leaders for ✨ Healers on Healing ✨, a free online event from September 17-19.
