"Living Beyond Terrorism: Israeli Stories of Hope and Healing"
(Conferences / Seminars / Lectures)
Presenter: Zieva Konvisser, international board member of the Israel Center for the Treatment of Psychotrauma
No one can forget the devastating aftermath of a suicide bomber detonating in a crowded bus or café. But what happens to the survivors of such indiscriminate and horrific attacks? Will the physical and emotional scars overwhelm them, or will they be able to transcend the traumatic experience and lead healthy and fulfilling lives? Many of those who survive are able to grow and thrive. Zieva Konvisser shares compelling stories of hope and healing, as told by ordinary people who became innocent victims of indiscriminate terrorist attacks in Israel primarily between 2000 and 2006, in order to make sense of what happened and to help others.
