Children being shot in a classroom leads a therapist to wonder what it will take for change‪.‬ Random Thoughts From A Therapist

This is not the first time a shooting has lead to victims in the US. And it's not the first time we as a collective society have been angered and dismayed and saddened by the loss of life. As the finger pointing and blame emerges with the recent shooting in an elementary school in Texas - a collective trauma to a country is explored. Ways that people hurt, knowing that people care and understanding how access to things that can harm - these things are all bluntly considered. Access to healthcare and access to guns might be part of predicting both help and danger. Understanding gun access and understanding symptoms is one part of this Podcast; understanding that it takes safe people to make our culture safe is the other part. When an escalating culture occurs, it might be out of our compassion that this takes place, and unfortunately it may inadvertently impair our ability to poblem solve. There's plenty of blame to look at - but what gives? How do we give time to our losses - and - recover enough to move to something better? How do we talk openly about such tragedies - and- protect our children and each other? What can you do if you or your loved one is unsure if you or they are safe? This Podcast is powerful, sad, and thought provoking in a way that maybe, just maybe, we can get to a safer place.
