Description

Born in Vietnam, forcibly displaced as a child to Australia, and now living in rural Alaska, Linda Thai has dedicated her life to unravelling the mysteries of how trauma impacts the human mind and body, both personally and collectively. Her relentless focus on expanding our understanding of trauma, driven by her personal experience as a former child refugee, has led to her becoming a highly sought after international teacher and trainer for therapists around the globe. A colleague of internationally renowned psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, she’s assisted with his small-group psychotherapy workshops aimed at healing attachment trauma. Her teaching is infused with empathy, storytelling, humour, research, practical tools, applied knowledge, and experiential wisdom.  

In this keynote address, she’ll elucidate a new view of attachment theory that better encompasses our needs as whole humans, engages the full web of relationships anchoring our lives, and helps break the cycle of historical and intergenerational trauma at the individual and community levels.
