Drawing from their work with Orphan Relief and Rescue, they discuss how trauma affects both the brain and body, referencing insights from The Body Keeps the Score by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk. Rebecca shares how healing goes beyond traditional methods, emphasizing the power of play, dance, and creative expression in helping children process and recover from trauma. These activities not only bring joy but also stimulate and rewire the brain in meaningful ways. The conversation highlights a powerful story of a young boy named Habib, who endured slavery and abuse, and how consistent love, care, and support played a key role in his healing journey. Deb and Rebecca also discuss their organization’s holistic approach to recovery—integrating emotional, physical, and spiritual healing—and underscore the vital role creativity plays in restoring hope and resilience in traumatized children.
