For over three decades, my dear friend Peter Williams worked as a camera journalist for CNN International and the BBC, traveling to over 50 countries and filming the absolute extremes of human conflict.
But there is a profound systemic truth about trauma: the nervous system will often hold itself together during the war, only to collapse when the war is over. In today’s new podcast episode, Peter and I discuss his battle with full-blown PTSD after moving to the safe haven of Vancouver, and how he found profound somatic healing not in traditional spirituality, but by freediving in the freezing mid-winter Salish Sea.
If you are interested in the intersection of high-stress environments, nervous system regulation, and non-traditional healing, this conversation is for you. Link in the comments below.
