Since the 1990s EMDR, the use of bilateral stimulation while re-experiencing a trauma, has been a proven way to process trauma and find healing. Traumatic experiences didn’t just start happening in the 1990s. It’s been around for all of human history. How have people healed from trauma before psychotherapeutic techniques, and even now when those treatments are not accessible for all people? And what does that have to do with the revolutionary resistance of authoritarian regimes that use violence to terrorize their own population? Join us as we explore these questions and what they have to teach us about embodied resilience as we engage in nonviolent resistance to the current authoritarian takeover of the United States.
