Discovering the Proximal Zone of Imagination and Just Showing Up: A Soul Symposium with Abby Brockman
10/01/20 • 121 min
Abby Brockman (she/her) is a Jewish trauma chaplain and spiritual caregiver who understands her role as facilitating transformative healing through increasing (re)connection at all levels of living: body, self, family, community, and something greater than ourselves. She received her MDiv from Boston University, trained at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, and completed her clinical residency at the VA Medical Center in her hometown of Seattle. She now serves as a staff chaplain at Seattle Children’s Hospital where the kiddos have stolen her heart. She brings an anti-racist and anti-oppressive lens to her work and specializes in moral injury, suicidality, grief/loss, end-of-life, meaning making, and unlearning. She's a community organizer for racial justice, shamelessly laughs at the same jokes over and over, and believes there are gateways to holiness everywhere.
