Guest: Margaret Vasquez

Trauma is emotional shrapnel. It explodes into the life of an individual with devastating force, and tears into every aspect of his person - his emotions, his perceptions, his psychology, his sense of well-being, security, confidence and self-worth. And this explosion gravely affects his interaction with others, his close, intimate relationships, and his casual ones. How does it affect all parties involved, are there ways to overcome some of the most devastating effects of the trauma, and can reaction and response help or hinder progress?
