Trauma affects us all, either through personal experience or as part of the community, and its language has made its way into many areas of public life; education, leadership, mass media, journalism, psychology, and even human resources. In this episode, we will set the stage for this 6-week series where we will explore what theology has to do with trauma, featuring theology students from The Seattle School of theology and Psychology.
