We don’t just need a trauma-informed educational system; we need a trauma-informed politics — one that speaks to the deep pain created by so many of our public policies.

Transforming trauma to triumph… That’s Marianne Williamson’s sweet spot.

Muting the word ‘trauma’.

Did you write Nancy's statement just now? Are you watching this!

"For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.” - JFK

Impossible because people seeking power tend to lack empathy, or lose it quickly when they get entrenched in their positions. Or they only see fragments of the pain. The response is never total.

I am a huge proponent of trauma-informed mental health care as well.

Why is it that the richest nation in the world can't figure out a way to find enough money to finance their own people with Free Healthcare, Affordable Education and Affordable Housing while spending insane amounts of their people's money bombing poor countries? Please explain!

I think you're talking about our priorities .... putting profits ahead of people!

I don't think the oligarchy would appreciate that very much. How can they continue exploiting us and bombing other countries if people are trauma-informed? Maybe we should do something about the whole profit-driven society thing. Seems to be causing an issue.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yes. We've institutionalized mass incarceration for many decades in response to generational trauma from genocide of Native Americans, brutal African American slavery, wars, sexual exploitation. Long overdue time for deep change for everyone & to heal the earth from exploitation.
