Trauma-Based Mind Control: A Conversation with Dr. Colin Ross
I sat down to reconnect with my colleague, Dr. Colin Ross whom I first learned of through his work honoring Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez's legacy. Given Dr. Ross's extensive clinical and research experience in the realm of psychological trauma, I thought it would be timely to connect, not around holistic healing of cancer but around around the role of torture, abuse, neglect, and other overwhelming sources of injury, what this can look like, and how to heal it. Here's what I asked him...
- What do you perceive to be the role of trauma in the expression of mental illness symptoms?
- Multiple personality disorder has been characterized in popular media as a kind of serious "craziness"...based on your clinical experience how does your perspective differ?
- I know that you have a connection to MK Ultra whistleblower Cathy O'Brien...can you tell us what MK Ultra (and Project Mockingbird) are?
- The phrase conspiracy theory itself is a CIA-originated term intended to discredit those who might challenge the mainstream narrative...now we are at point where the QAnon psyop may be an example of a social media movement intended to capture and discredit through political polarization any and all reference to government involvement in systems of trauma, torture and abuse. Many find it unbelievable that these "secrets" could possibly be kept by so many. Share with us your perspective on the role of trauma-based mind control in today's collective experiences...
- What is your clinical approach to healing trauma?
The recorded event I reference with Cathy O'Brien, Dr. Ross, and Roseanne Barr.
