Moshe Kasher: Nature vs. Nurture, Growing Up CODA & Rebuilding Trust

Published: May 18, 2021, 7:05 a.m.

Moshe Kasher, stand-up comedian and author of Mayim\u2019s favorite memoir \u2018Kasher in the Rye,\u2019 talks about his experience through childhood growing up with deaf parents and the mixed emotions of independence, embarrassment, and rage that came with it. Mayim and Moshe explore the idea of the chicken and the egg when it came to his therapy early in life; whether he was exposed to therapy because of exhibited behaviors or whether that exposure fed into those behaviors. We close the episode by coming full circle with a callback to Rick Doblin\u2019s MAPS and the idea that the only way to truly heal from trauma is to go back through it.
