Talking with The Politics of Trauma author Staci K. Haines

Stepping Into Truth: Conversations on Social Justice and How We Get Free

Staci K. Haines

Season 3 Episode 9

It's 2020 and that means that there is almost no way to be living in the United States and not have experienced some sort of trauma. Lives and jobs upended and lost, our politics are out of control, systemic racism front and center, it's been a brutal year.

Somatic practician and activist Staci K. Haines takes on this critical subject in her remarkable book, The Politics of Trauma. In our conversation Staci and I talk about the implications of power both for those without it and with it, the systemic trauma of racism and so much more.
