Finding Treasure in the Ruins of Trauma

"An early pioneer in mind-body medicine, Dr. James Gordon says we are all affected by trauma. But all of us also "have a great and largely untapped capacity to help and heal ourselves and one another." Dr. Gordon founded the Center for Mind-Body Medicine in Washington, DC, initially to transform health care by training health professionals with the tools of stress- and trauma relief. But he soon hit the limits of the medical establishment and so extended his offerings beyond traditional health care, going directly to communities and creating a version of medicine for the people, by the people. Dr. Gordon has created training programs of mind-body healing not just for health professionals, but for traumatized populations in the worlds hot spots, embracing a model of creating healing communities by training the trainers, or "Teaching Thousands to Heal Millions."
