Bonnie Boswell Reports
Childhood and Trauma Pt. 2
Season 6
Episode 2
Some children are dysregulated by traumatic events. But in a clip from Bill Moyers Journal, Bonnie’s late brother Dr. Carl Bell tells Moyers that some children who experience trauma become like Batmen—protective figures such as paramedics and doctors. Bonnie discusses reasons for different responses to childhood trauma with Dr. Denise Shervington, Chair of Psychiatry at Charles Drew University.
