Key Quotes

“We believe that the community is an anchor for healing from trauma, and these processes are built when people don't isolate themselves and are together with those who went through what you went through.”
“I truly believe that from every difficulty, one can grow; from every pain, one can rise. And I believe that if the system, if the state, would allocate a slightly larger budget to this whole story, we could truly grow and turn this crisis into growth, God willing.”
“The real leap forward will be when we can pool resources, when we can look at the individual from their perspective across the entire continuum, and they are not thrown from system to system.”
“There are wonderful people in public systems – in health, welfare, rehabilitation – who, despite difficult conditions and burnout, remain and are the true activist bureaucrats.”
“Where there is trauma, there is hope. If there was a change for the worse, it means there can be a change for the better.”
“Stop pretending that calm water means safety. Rip currents are invisible until it's too late. If you are a funder, support coordination, not just services.”
“We don't fix trauma. We provide the regulated field in which it can resolve.”
““We are opening, we are allowing reservists to go out, and then it was to go out and come in and go out and come in – that zipper, opening and closing each time, is not easy. And then, of course, we saw the improvement, but not the ideal.””
“After two years where we held and treated those who needed us, our responsibility now is to learn, to turn experience into evidence. Evidence into policy, and policy into better practice.”
“"All my life I was like a rock, like a stone... And as soon as you arrive and you understand you have zero control... I realized I need to become water."”
“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.”
““Our soul is like a muscle; it can be injured, it can be torn, but it can also be strengthened and reshaped in a new way.””
“Education of the mind without education of the heart is no education at all.”
““If there’s one thing you can say about trauma, it’s that it’s a freeze. The body freezes, the mind freezes, movement freezes. And to get that freeze moving, we need to initiate processes both in the clinic, but mainly outside the clinic.””
“No matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me there is something stronger, something better pushing right back.”
“I'm not afraid of artificial intelligence. I'm afraid of natural stupidity.”
“We don't have to frame it as trauma. We can frame it as something else or something like let's help the mental.”
