Peace From Anxiety: Hala Khouri
This week’s courageous conversation is with Hala Khouri, a brilliant yoga teacher and somatic counselor specializing in trauma. She just wrote a book called Peace from Anxiety: Get Grounded, Build Resilient, Stay Connected Amidst the Chaos -- which I would imagine is most people’s desire these days.
One of the things I’ve been thinking about leading up to this conversation is how “hurt people hurt people”; and given that people make up systems, it’s no wonder they are so messed up and harmful. But if we can become more informed about how trauma lives in all of us, perhaps we can skillfully navigate our personal and collective hurt and work towards healing and repair.
In the podcast, Hala asks “how good are we at repair? Because unless we get good at that, we can't be in this messiness and stay united”
This podcast is about trauma and anxiety, but it is also about how we take care of ourselves and one another, how we navigate the chaos of this moment with creativity, and how we practice change in small and big ways.
Check it out.
