This program invites all of us to explore the significance of human emotional pain and trauma as a major underlying cause of the most serious problems facing our society today. It is well known that without healthy support, traumatized people (unconsciously influenced by their inner pain) will engage in self-destructive and/or antisocial behaviors. While we are accustomed to thinking about the impact of trauma on the individual, most of us are unaware of the dramatic effect that trauma has on our society and our world. The cumulative result of these pain-driven behaviors can be seen in the epidemics of AIDS, Hepatitis C, drug addiction and alcoholism; in our violent and crime-ridden society; in unemployment, homelessness and poverty; in the ongoing cycle of child abuse and neglect; and, on an international level in terrorism and war. Presenters: Dr. Susan Lawrence and Dave Mashore of the Catalyst Foundation. Coordinator: Kathy Bingham
