Gina Ross is a psychotherapist and founder of the International Trauma-Healing Institute. In this episode, she shares simple, practical tools anyone can use to calm the nervous system and release trauma energy in daily life — alongside insights from her decades of work in conflict zones and communities worldwide.
Gina has trained thousands of professionals and community leaders in trauma-healing methods that bridge psychotherapy, neuroscience, and cross-cultural awareness. Her mission: to stop cycles of trauma before they spiral into cycles of violence.
In this episode we explore: Simple, on-the-go tools to regulate the nervous system How trauma energy gets stuck in the body — and how to safely release it Ways to use these techniques in moments of overwhelm, reactivity, or stress The wider picture of collective trauma in Israel, Palestine, and beyond How trauma is transmitted across generations — and how healing can interrupt that cycle
This conversation is both practical and profound: a chance to learn tools you can use right now, and an invitation to see trauma not only as a wound, but as a pathway toward resilience and repair.
