Join this important depth dialogue as Jungian analyst Michael Conforti speaks with Bonnie Bright in a live video episode* of Dinner & Depth on "The Language of Trauma" the topic of the upcoming 9-month certificate program offered by Assisi Institute. 

Together, Dr. Michael Conforti and Dr. Bonnie Bright will explore:

• The wisdom of psyche in communicating the unconscious experiences of trauma
• Ways in which traditional therapy must face its limitations in the domain of trauma
• How individuals, in movement towards resilience, experience benevolence which they felt had been lost not only to them, but to the world
• How therapy needs to return to its origins as a spiritual journey in order to help the individual live with the pain while opening to the archetypal experience of benevolence
