About the conversation
Trauma leaves marks that don’t always show up on a scan. Patients describe symptoms that outlast what the imaging explains — and clinicians are left working at the edge of their frameworks.
MaryBeth Toran, MD, a board-certified neurologist who directs the Multiple Sclerosis Clinic at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, sits down with energy healer Laurie Nealon for a candid conversation about that edge. They discuss how lived experience can challenge conventional models of trauma care, how trauma registers across the physical, emotional and spiritual body, and what it actually takes to bring medical expertise and non-traditional healing into the same room.
