How We Change the World

Over the course of four decades holistic psychotherapist, author, and poet Dr. Ed Tick has dedicated his life to healing the invisible wounds of war. His work transcends borders and conflicts, bringing hope and healing to veterans, trauma survivors, and, most recently, soldiers on both sides of the Ukrainian-Russian war. Through spiritual practices, deep soul work, and ancient traditions, Ed addresses trauma in ways that modern approaches often fail to do. “Trauma is cumulative and transgenerational. Our ancestors’ wounds live inside us, and if we don’t stop and heal, the pain only grows. Healing isn’t just for the present—it’s for the past and future, too.” — Dr. Ed Tick Topics in this Episode: Ed’s innovative approach to preventing and treating PTSD during war, and the challenges he faces working with both Russian and Ukrainian soldiers. The soul-wounding effects of war and the importance of addressing trauma from a spiritual, holistic perspective. How poetry plays a crucial role in healing and reconciliation, particularly through Ed’s book Coming Home in Vietnam. The profound personal connection Ed has with the Russian and Ukrainian conflict, rooted in his family’s history. How Ed’s work with ancient spiritual and healing traditions informs modern approaches to treating PTSD.
