Israeli Resilience Amid Mourning: Psychotrauma Expert on Rebuilding Safety

Angela Diffley welcomes Dr. Danny Brom, Founding Director of METIV, the Israel Psychotrauma Center in Jerusalem. According to Dr. Brom, as Israelis and Jewish people worldwide continue to mourn the largest loss of Jewish life on a single day since the Holocaust, their fundamental sense of collective security has been shattered. What strikes him, however, is the resilience that exists alongside the grieving. He discusses how individuals, communities, and society can rebuild a sense of safety and trust after such profound trauma. The conversation explores the psychological and social dimensions of recovery, offering insights into the path forward for a nation in mourning.
