"There is a wisdom in our bodies."

I cherish the On Being podcasts, and here is a program that shines the light on the passing down of trauma through the generations, i.e. legacy or historical trauma.  Neuroscientist Rachel Yehuda has researched this vast subject from the lens of the Jewish experience, as well as survivors of 9/11 and other traumas.

The concept of post-traumatic stress growth or taking the suffering and converting into something positive.  She calls the "podium of suffering."
