This is Part 1 of an extended conversation I had with neurologist Dr. Robert Scaer back in the Summer of 2010.
Author of the classic texts on the psychobiology of trauma, including The Trauma Spectrum and The Body Bears the Burden with 30 years as the director of a nationally recognized pain clinic in Boulder Colorado, Scaer knows a thing or two about the emerging science of traumatology and what it says about the prospect for healing.
He’s also a genuine and forthcoming human being.
Scaer also maintains an impressive website that will be of interest to clinicians everywhere: Traumasoma.com.
