How do you heal from trauma—whether individual, familial, or collective? Can Christian spirituality help? Bo Karen Lee (Princeton Theological Seminary) joins Ryan McAnnally-Linz for a conversation on trauma and Ignatian (Jesuit) spirituality. She is Associate Professor of Spiritual Theology and Christian Formation at Princeton Theological Seminary, and has written and taught contemplative theology, prayer, and the connection between spirituality and social justice. A sensitive and raw exploration of trauma and the human experience, the clarity and courage reflected in Bo's presentation of how trauma threatens the human mind and body is matched by a powerful empathy and peace, as she reflects on moving through a spiritual journey from victim or bystander of trauma to a beloved, seen, known, and loved by God and other deeply caring helpers. The discussion that follows offers a concise introduction to the Ignatian spiritual tradition, as well as a holistic comment on how trauma at the individual, genetic, family, and national level can be acknowledged, addressed, and acted on.
