I have spent the last 30 years working with people who have been severely traumatized. The work has been intense, and the people have been inspiring. Starting in the 80's with Vietnam veterans, I went on to work with people whose wars were hidden in their own homes and neighborhoods. Maintaining a balance between the intensity of the work and the beauty of life has been an on-going challenge. I write, speak, and teach, and then I walk, read, and dance. Through it all, I'm constantly impressed with the human ability to heal, and to seek life and love.
