This isn\u2019t a typical episode because today\u2019s guest, Linda Thai, did not give a typical answer.

The usual question and answer format of this How She Got There episode was derailed right from question one, and that\u2019s a fantastic thing because what ended up surfacing was much better than what I could\u2019ve planned

Somatic and Trauma Therapist, Linda Thai, shares with us how her and family survived post-war Vietnam\u2019s refugee exodus.

Although only 2 years old at the time, the experience of fleeing her home country had a significant impact on Linda\u2019s life.

\u201cYou don\u2019t remember the trauma but you exhibit the symptoms\u201d Linda explains.

She expertly weaves an understanding of trauma as she tells the story of her and her family\u2019s harrowing journey.

I was touched by her story not only because it\u2019s so similar to the story of what my family went through, but also because it\u2019s an excellent example of Rumi\u2019s quote \u201cThe wound is where the light enters\u201d.
