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.
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.
And perhaps more importantly: what helps us heal?
