It is a big and juicy conversation. We talk about

- where is the line between neurodiversity and trauma, or is there even a line at all?

- the human species in its quest for survival - will it make it or is it set to implode (the clue might be in the word "survival")

- the pros and the cons of a diagnosis - what is the answer?

- the formation of a human and how we grow to see ourselves in the world. To label or not to label?

And much, much more.

Mark was a journalist for 30 years, gained his Masters in Transpersonal Psychotherapy in 2000, was the Founding Director of the Dart Centre Europe for Journalism and Trauma and was also a Board member of the European Society for Traumatic Stress Studies.

For the past 25 years, Mark has contributed workshops and keynote addresses to conferences including the ISTSS and ESTSS, the BACP, the EMDR Associating UK and the Parnell Institute US. He is a lead trainer in EMDR, AF-EMDR and AI-EMDR globally.
