Hi Newsletter Subscribers,

I've just upgraded my website (I've added a lot of new stuff) which allows for more PDFs. Since there is so much upset in our culture, I thought I would offer a free primer on trauma healing.

I published this 9,000-word primer, inspired by Mary Trump's book The Reckoning: Our Nation's Trauma and Finding a Way to Heal. In it she told the history that's led to national trauma, but she never spelled out how this manifests individually, and, without knowing that, many people may feel fear/fury, anxiety or depression, numbness and other symptoms, but be unable to recognize it as rooted in a chronic problem.

In my experience a lot of traumatized people do not really understand that they're traumatized or, if they do, that it is a physiological condition.

This primer may help you recognize your own trauma. It also lists some resources.

I want to give it away to anybody who needs it.

The free PDF is on my website.

Let us all find peace!
