Excellent. Well done Laura. I'm a trauma therapist and even though I work somaticly and don't have clients go into a ton of detail (unless they can stay resourced while doing so) I reached my limit for hearing about abuse. So important to recognize this is normal.
Laura was transparent and helpful to those of us who try to help others who are hurting. It also helps counselors realize their need for self-care. Thanks, Laura.
So so good! "We have a shared ethic of doing no harm. If you are numb you will not be able to gauge whether or not you are doing harm." (16:15) Tuning in to ourselves, and taking care of ourselves, allows us to be present for those we seek to serve and allows us to see and counter oppressive systems.
I was assigned this Ted Talk by my DSW grad (trauma) course instructor. WOW, what an amazing presentation. I will definitely share with my professional colleagues at work. Inspirational!
9:34 Seeing all of this laid out is so priceless if you have a open mind and want to improve & learn about yourself. God bless the internet and the age of information, imagine if all the generations of the last century had access to this kind of insight and where open and curious enough to explore it and humble enough to accept it and make a effort to change..
Laura was phenomenal. Speaking from my Human Services background, we ALL need this information. Presented with humor and insight, I will share this with students!

Laura brings clarity to trauma feelings over a lifetime and their effect if not acknowledged.

I'm a 911 operator/ Fire & EMS Dispatcher taking a course that includes this video. It really struck home. Thank you, Laura.
This video is great! Please, I need it captioned for my colleagues with hearing disabilities
Still waiting for Captions.

Fantastic lecture. Working in the field of child abuse, I found this to be both enlightening and motivating in addressing my own vicarious trauma.
What a passionate and inspiring speaker on such an important and much neglected subject. Thank you so much.
Your Ted Talk made me weep, Laura. Thank you.
I wept also, Benjamin. The content is so very timely. Keep on pushing.
Why isn't this amazing video accessible?

I was a sobbing mess before I got to the 6 min mark. Thank you Laura. Really.
That was PHENOMINAL. I will definately follow your work.
Awesome talk - encapsulating so eloquently the experience, the way out, through and IN - to better live, work, serve and love. Thank you
Wonderful talk!

Wow, Laura is a genius!!!
I'm a veterinarian, and this was so validating for my experience. Thank God for experts in the human experience.
Vets definitely have a time with this.
I am deaf. I'd like captions please! I was referred to this talk and want to learn from Laura.
Wow. A wonderful talk that I will never forget. Thank you.

"What the world needs is people to become alive!"
I need the closed captions, please. Thank you.
This was AMAZING! Thank you Laura, thank you Tedx
I found her to bring and break down trauma to be very interesting. I learned in her short video alot about trauma.
This is a great video, and I love how lighthearted it is! Very enlightening, we need to all prioritize and check in on our own mental health.
watching this for grief, loss, death and dying course for MSW. fantastic! i love seeing how many others have this as part of their curriculum
Interesting story Ward. How many other Intel units had such lapses in security yet did not have the an Airman Teixeira to bring them to the surface?
Wonderful. I am an apostle for Presence! Great stuff, Laura!
Jondi Whitis what a lovely way to word it.
Thank you.
