In this TedMed Talk, I explore how the model of self-care, group support, and self-expression in words, drawings, and movement, that I teach in my Insight Timer course, has provided hope and healing to lonely, despairing people in some of the darkest most traumatized places on our planet. Watching it, you will know that even the most catastrophic forms of trauma can be your doorway to discovering who you really are.
