Show Notes
On this episode of Transforming Trauma, Emily Ruth is honored to welcome psychiatrist, researcher, teacher, and author Dr. Judith Herman for a heartfelt discussion centering on the needs of victims of sexual trauma and society's role in individual and collective trauma healing.
In her latest book, Truth And Repair: How Trauma Survivors Envision Justice, Dr. Herman introduces us to a "fourth stage" of the recovery process in which trauma survivors are invited to envision their future. Dr. Herman's latest book comes 30 years after her seminal work, Trauma And Recovery, in which she introduced the then-radical idea that complex PTSD was a stand-alone diagnosis that differs significantly from PTSD. Her pioneering work led to our current understanding that C-PTSD requires a new framework for diagnosis and effective treatment.
