<p>In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, my guest is Dr. James Gordon, a Harvard-educated psychiatrist and a world-renowned expert in using mind-body medicine to heal depression, anxiety, and psychological trauma. He founded and now serves as executive director of <a href="https://cmbm.org/" target="_blank">The Center for Mind-Body Medicine</a>—an organization that focuses on life-changing therapeutic work with individuals, families and groups. </p><p>Dr. Gordon explains that trauma is a human experience, not a pathological anomaly. His new book, “<a href="https://cmbm.org/thetransformation/" target="_blank">The Transformation: Discovering Wholeness and Healing After Trauma</a>,” helps people understand their own capacity to heal themselves.</p><p>“The premise is that what we're teaching about self-awareness and self-care—and also encouraging people to get support from other humans—is fundamental to the understanding and treatment of all trauma,” he says. </p><p>For more than 25 years, he has led teams in relieving population-wide psychological trauma: during and after wars in the Balkans, the Middle East and Africa; after climate related disasters in Louisiana, Texas, California, Puerto Rico, and Haiti; in communities affected by school shootings; and with active duty U.S. military and veterans and their families.</p><p>Enjoy the show!</p><p><br></p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
