In this episode of Beyond the Medical Algorithm, Catie Harris invites Dr. Marc Hauser, a neuroscientist and former Harvard professor, to discuss childhood trauma and resilience. Dr. Hauser shares insights from his book "Vulnerable Minds" and offers strategies for supporting children facing adversity. They explore the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and the importance of understanding the different dimensions within ‘adversity’ as a means of avoiding the dangers that come with our desire to oversimplify and quantify problems in order to manage them. The conversation also touches on innovative therapeutic approaches for adults recovering from trauma and Dr Hauser’s own resilience in dealing with painful and shocking stories on a daily basis.
