    When War Comes Home: Relationships, Reserve Duty & the Hidden Cost to Families | 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.

    This is a special RAW Collection episode, bringing together five of my most impactful conversations on trauma, resilience, anxiety, and healing. Over the past two years, I've interviewed psychiatrists, psychologists, meditation teachers, and trauma experts, all approaching the same question from different perspectives: How do we heal after trauma? In this episode, I've curated the insights that stayed with me most. Together, they explore what trauma does to our minds and bodies, how resilience is built, why community matters, and what post-traumatic growth can actually look like. Featuring •⁠ ⁠Prof. Shlomo Mendlovic – Psychiatrist and Director of Shalvata Mental Health Center •⁠ ⁠Dr. Lia Naor – Clinical psychologist, researcher, and nature-based therapist •⁠ ⁠Dr. Oded Arbel – Psychiatrist and trauma specialist •⁠ ⁠Stephen Fulder – Founder of Tovana and meditation teacher •⁠ ⁠Rick Hanson – Psychologist, meditation teacher, and bestselling author In this episode •⁠ ⁠What post-traumatic growth really means •⁠ ⁠Why healing doesn't happen alone •⁠ ⁠The difference between fear and anxiety •⁠ ⁠What trauma does to the nervous system •⁠ ⁠Why nature can be a powerful healing environment •⁠ ⁠How our stories shape recovery •⁠ ⁠Practical tools for living with uncertainty and rebuilding resilience This episode isn't about pretending everything is okay. It's about understanding how we remain human after rupture, how we carry trauma without letting it define us, and what allows healing to begin.

    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.

    Being With the Unbearable, with Prof. Shlomo Mendlovic

    In this episode of RAW, I’m in conversation with Shlomo Mendlovic, psychiatrist and director of Shalvata Mental Health Center. I first heard Shlomo speak to families of people in severe mental health crisis. What stayed with me was something simple but radical: his insistence on keeping even a drop of optimism — not as denial, but as a stance. A refusal to give up on the human being in front of you. We speak about: – Growing up with a Holocaust-survivor father who modeled grounded hope – Choosing psychiatry from childhood after seeing an image of a psychiatrist “removing chains” – What Shalvata actually is and why even severe mental illness can often be managed – October 7th as both national and intimate trauma, including his son serving in Kissufim that day – Why trauma lives beneath words – The difference between resilience and post-traumatic growth – The centrality of “being with”— presence over technique Shlomo argues that our responsibility now is not to erase trauma, but to let something grow alongside it. A sober, honest, deeply humane conversation about suffering, connection, and the possibility of growth. ---x--- If this conversation moved you, I invite you to share it — especially with someone who is navigating trauma, supporting someone in crisis, or working in mental health. You can follow RAW on your podcast app to stay updated on future episodes, and if you feel inclined, leave a rating or review — it genuinely helps these conversations reach more people. And as always, thank you for being here.
