Unseen Scars: Women's Hidden Battles in War
“The story of witnessing trauma is a deeply significant part of therapy, and it doesn't happen in the first moment. The memory of trauma is not encoded like other memories; it is recorded in the body, often fragmented, non-sequential, and sometimes incoherent. The narrative of testimony is therefore a process that sometimes takes weeks, months, and even many years.”
- Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, Israel's Special Envoy for Innovation
