Post # 20 The Value of Deep Listening – The Aboriginal Gift to the Nation – Judy Atkinson

As my last post, I want to share the powerful words of Emeritus Professor Judy Atkinson (now retired) who comes from the Jiman, Budjalung people of Australia.  Her life’s work is dedicated to the field of violence and trauma through building bridges between Indigenous healing practice and Western trauma recovery process.  Her approach to healing is about ‘deep listening’.   She says ‘In order to heal, the stories behind the trauma must be heard’.
