#278 The Long Arc of Living a Life of Trauma Integration and Resilience with Dr. Ann Kaiser Stearns
Louise sits down with Dr. Ann Kaiser Stearns, a psychologist, educator, and bestselling author whose work has touched millions through her books, lectures, and decades of teaching. In this conversation, she shares insights from more than 30 years of research and clinical experience on the long-term journey of resilience, grief, and our human capacity to integrate profound loss into a new sense of self.
Together they explore the long arc of healing after life-altering trauma, the difference between simply surviving and truly integrating, the power of one decision to live fully, and the role of meaning-making in shaping one’s future. Dr. Stearns vividly illustrates what trauma integration can look like over time, including the phenomenon of paying it forward for others. She also speaks to caregivers, the importance of their purpose, and mental health tips for how growth and strength can emerge even when loss is permanent.
Her wisdom helps illuminate the closing reflections on Tony Schmiesing’s journey—what it means to continue integrating over time, to redefine identity, and to embrace the ongoing work of living fully.
