My guest, highly respected colleague and friend Susan Pease Banitt, author of several books including \"The Trauma Toolkit,\" and \"Wisdom, Attachment + Love in Trauma Therapy: Beyond evidence based practice.\" Recently Susan contributed an essay to, and edited the new book, \"Women Therapists on Healing: 11 personal essays about overcoming trauma.\" This book covers many topics related to healing from trauma and this week we're focusing on Susan's contribution, entitled \"Did That Really Happen to Me?\" In our conversation we'll talk about trauma, memory and how dissociation both protects us during traumatic experiences while also confusing ourselves and those we disclose our traumatic experiences to later. Susan shares how this book can be used to help trauma survivors understand what the healing process can look like and feel like after trauma. We also talked about the importance of women's and other marginalized people's voices being heard in the context of sharing our wisdom about healing, and what she's seen over her career which began in the 1980\"s. Tune in to learn from this leader in the field of trauma and dissociation! .
