Gerry Pyves: Touching Trauma, Building Resilience | Mind Health
On Wednesday, November 30, 2022, Gerry Pyves led our Mind Health webinar, teaching us about his new revolutionary community-based approach to healing trauma. He is the author of Touching Trauma, Building Resilience.
In general, touch has been shunned by the psychological professionals. However, Gerry holds a very different view. He believes that touch could be central to removing trauma from the human nervous system.
“Trauma is not an illness. It is our nervous system doing exactly what it is meant to do.” – gerrypyves.com

“As a neuropsychologist and therapist, I was impressed with the clarity in which Gerry communicates the complexity of the neuroscience of trauma. As a fellow human being, I was repeatedly comforted by his profound empathic understanding of what ultimately binds all humanity at our deepest level.”
