Dr. Sandra Bloom and Sarah Yanosy discuss the often unprocessed grief that accompanies childhood abuse and neglect, and the ways in which that grief translates into pathological responses in adults. They go on to explain that many trauma disorders are actually disorders of disrupted attachment, and how losses in childhood metabolize physically, mentally, and emotionally in our bodies. The hosts conclude with a growing body of research surrounding the power of writing and the arts to break our current paradigm around how we process the past, and illuminate our inherent capacity for self-healing.
