Episode Description from the Publisher

Dr. James Gordon — Harvard-trained psychiatrist, founder of the Center for Mind-Body Medicine, and author of Transforming Trauma — has spent 50 years healing people in places most of us can't imagine: war zones, school shooting sites, and communities torn apart by violence. He was also there on the Mall in 1963, when Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his I Have a Dream speech — and that sense of what's possible has never left him.   He joins hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger alongside his godson Matt Lombard — a man whose life Jim helped hold together after losing his mother at age 11.   Together, they reveal how:  Trauma is a wound that can become a doorway to growth  Unresolved trauma changes your DNA and can be passed down three generations  The belief that you can't heal is the only thing standing between you and healing  Forgiveness isn't for the other person — it's how you stop carrying what's not yours  Soft belly breathing and dancing are two science-backed tools you can start today  New episodes drop every Tuesday.
