Life doesn't pause while you figure out how to handle your trauma. The daily hassles and irritations as well as the accomplishments and milestones keep coming. We talk with author, former climber, and psychologist Dr. James Porzelius (Jim) about the intersection of mental and physical—in this case, climbing, in dealing with trauma, plus other insights Jim shares from his unique perspective. Jim's novel, ClimberGirl, takes you on a tender journey of recovery, not just for the formerly active father after a devastating injury, but also for his 12-year-old daughter whose outdoor lifestyle with her dad abruptly ends.
