Seed Talks: The Science of Trauma & The Body: The Psychosomatic Nature of Trauma – Wednesday 19th February 2025

You will gain an understanding of our body’s role in psychological survival, the mediating role of our nervous systems and the role & nature of memories. We will also explore ways of healing and moderating the impact of trauma on our bodies, and how this can support our minds. We are social animals, and you will learn how together there is a path to co-regulation and collective healing. The talk also includes some incredible research on how art can impact the nervous systems of traumatised communities.

Dr Angela Kennedy is an eminent Clinical Psychologist and former NHS director and regional mental health lead with decades of experience working with the consequences of abuse and trauma. She spearheaded the UK’s movement towards trauma-informed approaches and compassionate leadership. She also set up a region’s staff support service during covid and was a trustee of the Covid Healthcare Support Appeal. In recent years she has brought her artistic lens closer to her work, which includes producing a documentary on recovery from suicide.
