Trauma, covering it and living it, a workshop
I’ve covered six conflicts. I’ve been splattered with others’ blood. And I’ve talked to people who have lost people they love only moments ago.
And I’ve never felt comfortable doing this, covering trauma.
This is the story that binds us and blinds us. The story of loss and endings. The story of trauma and, sometimes, violence.
It’s repeated day after day and yet, I wonder, how well do we tell this story?
And how do these stories of trauma mark us or change us?
Are we open to them?Listening to what we are told. Or do we slide through these very difficult events
