One of my concerns during this pandemic is wondering how we can all get through this and not let it become one of the most traumatic experiences of our lives. I thought having a conversation with one of the world’s leading trauma experts, Dr. Bruce Perry, could be helpful to us. pic.twitter.com/ivSEt5N4mI
