201: How She Got There: From Vietnam Refugee Exodus to Somatic and Trauma Therapist w/ Linda Thai

This isn't a typical episode because today's guest, Linda Thai, did not give a typical answer. The usual question and answer format of this How She Got There episode was derailed right from question one, and that's a fantastic thing because what ended up surfacing was much better than what I could've planned Somatic and Trauma Therapist, Linda Thai, shares with us how her and family survived post-war Vietnam's refugee exodus. Although only 2 years old at the time, the experience of fleeing her home country had a significant impact on Linda's life. "You don't remember the trauma but you exhibit the symptoms" Linda explains. She expertly weaves an understanding of trauma as she tells the story of her and her family's harrowing journey. I was touched by her story not only because it's so similar to the story of what my family went through, but also because it's an excellent example of Rumi's quote "The wound is where the light enters". ***************** Resources: I mistakenly told you that Part I of our conversation was Ep 201 but it's actually Ep 199!
