The Traumatized Mind—with Thure Lindhardt and Karen-Inge Karstoft

What to know

What is trauma, and how does it affect us? Everyone is talking about trauma. The concept has moved beyond the field of psychology and into our everyday lives, where it is used to understand everything from personal crises to societal reactions. But what exactly is trauma? How do trauma reactions manifest themselves? And will experiences that shake us to our core necessarily shape us for the rest of our lives? Join us when the professor of psychology Karen-Inge Karstoftand actor Thure Lindhardtmeet for a conversation about trauma, vulnerability, and human resilience. Drawing on the latest research on trauma, Karen-Inge Karstoft offers insights into how trauma affects us, why some people develop long-term reactions, and why we are often more resilient than we realize At the same time, Thure Lindhardt brings an artistic and experiential perspective to the conversation through his portrayal of Jeppe, who suffers from PTSD, in Christian Lollike’s current production of *Jeppe on the Hill* at Aarhus Theater.
