Among other things, the three take on what thinking psychoanalytically suggests about our relationships to technology, from the pleasing familiarity of effective User Interface design and frictionless movement in video games to the ways anxieties about the existence other human minds appears to be driving ever more people to prefer the projections and grandiose claims of interactions with so-called “artificial intelligence.” They then turn to another space where the questions of friction, the possibility of pain, the promise of growth, and the role of transference loom large: the classroom. In particular, they explore the ethical and interpersonal stakes of teaching psychoanalysis, and teaching in general, with an eye toward questions of repetition, narcissism, Trauma Studies as a discipline, traumatic experiences of learning, what is or isn't “outside the classroom,” the balance between taking things personally and meeting students where they are, and whether and how pedagogy and learning alike resemble therapy in all its possibilities and pains.

This discussion is with Mari Crabtree, who teaches in the Department of African American Studies at the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina.  Mari has published on African American history and culture, with particular emphasis on trauma, the history of lynching, and critical aspects of African American humor. Along with a number of articles, she recently published My Soul is a Witness: The Traumatic Afterlife of Lynching, out with Yale University Press in late-2022 and the occasion for our conversation today. In this conversation, we discuss the origins of the project, conceptions of trauma the book both adopts and modifies, the meaning of memory in African American culture and history, the blues as readerly sensibility, and Crabtree's productive method of reading absences and silences.

Trauma is a word that's thrown around a lot. And the idea that trauma and ED's are connected is pretty known… but WHY are they connected, and what connects them?    Heather is a clinical social worker and psychoanalyst with a private practice in NYC. She's also an eating disorder and trauma expert. She is faculty and a supervisor at The Institute for Psychoanalytic Study of Subjectivity; The National Institute for Psychotherapies; and The Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis and the Certificate Program in Trauma Studies. She's also a review editor for Psychoanalysis, Self and Context and she's written about eating disorders from a self psychological, relational, and neurobiological perspective (if those words mean anything to you).    A lot of her work has inspired and informed the talks and webinars I've given. She's written academic papers for decades and I love her work. To be honest, her works are some of my favorites when it comes to eating disorders and psychoanalysis. So consider us real lucky to have her join us here.  Tweetable Quotes “The eating disorder became a self-management tool, a self-regulating tool, a strategy to manage states of hyperarousal and anxiety, to have a sense of efficacy and control.” –Heather Ferguson, LCSW   “Most of us with a psychoanalytic frame of mind think about eating disorders serving both functions, that is, they can both downregulate and soothe the nervous system, but it can also be self-harming and self-punishing.” – Heather Ferguson, LCSW   “That's part of what gets mapped around trauma – ‘I'm bad, I deserve punishment.' It's illogical, it's sort of how the psyche makes sense of this – that you are the bad one, and you somehow induce the traumatic event.” – Heather Ferguson, LCSW   “The eating disorder in a way can be a window into understanding the trauma.” – Heather Ferguson, LCSW  Resources:  Heather's Website   Heather's email: heatherfergusonlcsw@outlook.com  LEAVE A REVIEW + help someone who may need this podcast by sharing this episode.

In this episode we're talking about Trauma Studies and the Gospel of John with Dr. Cory Marsh, who is Professor of New Testament at Southern California Seminary and the Director of SCS Press. Dr. Marsh recently completed a PhD thesis at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary entitled, “In This World You Have Affliction: A Johannine Theology of Christian Suffering” and has a forthcoming article in the Bulletin for Biblical Research entitled, “Moral Injury and the Suffering Basilikos of John 4.46–54.” In our conversation, Dr. Marsh explains to us what Trauma Studies are and how the concept of Moral Injury fits within that, and he tells us about how he applies this area of research to the Gospel of John and the particular characters who display various degrees of trauma and distress. Applying this area of research, Dr. Marsh contends, helps us to recognize the real human suffering in John's Gospel instead of skipping too quickly to the healings and signs that Jesus performs. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: Dr. Josh Carroll, Dr. John Anthony Dunne, and Dr. Chris Porter. One of the articles referenced in the conversation on medical professionals and mental distress and moral injury within the field of nursing ethics can be found here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0969733020966776

A discussion with Jay Rajiva, who teaches in the Department of English at Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia.

In this conversation, we discuss the fecundity of animism as an interpretative frame, the ongoing relevance of traumatic memory in a range of postcolonial literatures, narrative and the complexity of representation, and the nature and promise of comparative, intertextual study.

Episode Description:Why We Need a More Integrative Approach to Trauma in Our Theology discusses how theology, churches, and Christian teachings often fail to address trauma properly. We can see how the realities of trauma have been integrated into literature, art, history, and music as ways to express and heal trauma. However, while not all theology does this, some theology dismisses trauma or claims that you can heal through traditional modalities alone, and if you don't, it's your fault and you're not trying hard enough.   If you've been told this, this can be re-traumatizing, and it simply isn't true. Witnessing and validating trauma is a more realistic approach to dealing with trauma. By having a more integrative approach to our faith and theology, including the realities of trauma into our practices, integrating our healing practice in with our faith and theology, and acknowledging how trauma works in conjunction with our faith, we can take a more integrative and holistic approach to trauma that allows our relationship with Christ to heal us and change our lives. Breakdown of Episode: 1:18  Intro to Topic 3:47 Why You Can't Simplify Trauma and Put It in a Box9:46 Why It's Important We Integrate the Complexity of Trauma into Our Approach to Theology and Scripture17:57 Why an Integrative and Holistic Approach to Trauma in Your Life and in Our Theology is the Answer to Healing TraumaBulleted List of Resources"How Christian Theology and Practice Are Being Shaped by Trauma Studies" in Christian Century, by Sheila Rambo https://www.christiancentury.org/article/critical-essay/how-christian-theology-and-practice-are-being-shaped-trauma-studies   This article discusses how trauma is integrated into our culture, art, literature, and history in many rich ways to help those who've experienced move through it and heal. However, theology doesn't always address the realities of trauma and integrating the realities of what has happened into human life. Our theology doesn't always address the complex and messy nature of trauma. By addressing the realities of trauma in our theology and using a more integrating approach to heal trauma, we can make progress toward individual and cultural healing of trauma.    Subscribe to the email list for the latest episodes and channel updates by going to https://christianemotionalrecovery.com and then go to subscribe button.  Like FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/stopstrivingandstartthriving  Join Facebook Group Trauma Survivors Unite: Christian Emotional Recovery: https://www.facebook.com/groups/christianemotionalrecoverySubscribe to my YouTube channel for free meditation and more resources:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4a5jGXZ0-qzPINAspnLwPw Want to write your own healing message or memoir, but don't know how to get started?

Welcome to Goddard in the World's Season One Finale! We are so excited to end the season with an incredible writer and guest Sam Rebelein.   Sam Rebelein is a graduate of the MFA in Creative Writing program at Goddard College. His work has previously appeared in Bourbon Penn, Planet Scumm, Shimmer, Ellen Datlow's Best Horror of the Year, and elsewhere. He lives in Poughkeepsie, NY and will be starting a PhD at Texas Tech University in 2021 focusing in English Literature and Film, specifically Horror and Trauma Studies.   As an only child, Sam grew up playing by himself and making up stories. We talked to him about how his childhood homes from Minnesota to Ohio to the Hudson Valley influenced his storytelling interests, from landscapes where you can see the weather coming three days away, to woods which are full of power, mystery, and claustrophobia. Reflecting upon why interest in the horror genre demands an explanation, Sam talks about horror as a safe environment to experience fear and address it, and how horror reflects anxieties that are already present in the storytellers and audience, “Horror felt like the one area where stories would be honest about there being something out there or people being terrible…there's something familiar and cozy about it if you already have it in your head.”   Sam started out writing comedy, sketch and theater at Vassar and then pivoted to horror, “both genres depend on catharsis, build up and tension…you're geared up to have some kind of release whether it's a laugh or startling.” At Goddard, Sam wrote a collection of short horror stories which is currently being represented and shopped around for publication. “Goddard helped me develop my taste and vibe, I found my voice.”   Sam will be starting a PhD program at Texas Tech University in fall 2021, where he hopes to study grief and trauma in horror, how it's manifested and how it can be utilized. We talk about some movies that illustrate these concepts (spoiler warning for The Babadook!).   Check out (and buy!) all of Sam's current and forthcoming publications at: https://www.srebelein.com/work   Follow Sam on Twitter: @HillaryScruff   Recommendations: Books: R.L.

Today on Thereafter we sit down with Rebekah Sorkin. Rebekah is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist with a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from Winthrop University and a MA in Social Work with certificates in At-Risk Youth and Trauma Studies from University of Denver. Over the past ten years her work with children, teens, adults, and families has given her unique insights on the effects of trauma on our minds and bodies. So many of us who have gone through a journey of faith change weren't taught to identify trauma that may have occurred in our religious experience and its effects on our minds and bodies. Rebekah and so many others in her field are giving us the language to identify this trauma so that we can begin to heal. We're so honored to have had the opportunity to talk with Rebekah and hope that you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it. You can connect with Rebekah through her website BranchCounselingCo.com

This podcast engages across trauma studies to consider Gloria Anzaldua's writing on healing: "You don't heal the wound. The wound heals you." I also discuss mind-body connection and the deep anxiety many people have to be/dwell consciously within the sensations and feelings of their own bodies.

In the beginning of this series on trauma, we will ask questions like: What is the relationship between patriarchy and refusing our own felt experience of vulnerability? How does patriarchy interrupt our own natural healing mechanisms, such as grief? And what kind of knowledge of the world does traumatic experience help us access?

Part of traumatic experience, as connected to structural violence, is the ways in which our knowledge of the world is gaslight, denied, and minimized. How do we reclaim that knowledge? How does mind-body connection help us access and speak our knowledge?
