In this conversation, I (dun dun dunnnnn) talk a lot about suffering and trauma. What else is new?! I talk a bit about how I currently view “trauma” and how trauma and learning from these experiences of suffering allows us to deeply connect to who we have always been. Learning from our suffering also helps us understand our unmet needs and create spaces that meet our needs.
I chatted with Jamee Pineda on his Decolonizing Medicine Podcast about:
- How I now feel about my experiences of terror and suffering
- My inclination towards awe, mystery, unknown, and darkness and its absurdity
- How “trauma” is suffering and suffering is a part of life
- Why there is nothing wrong with us for our experiences of trauma and what mine have taught me
- How my “traumas” inform my desire to work with “mystified” human beings
- Why I “love” trauma aka the wisdom that can be gleaned from it
- A collective purpose of my (and dare i say, our) suffering
- How suffering points us to what we need to move forward as a collective
