Trauma’s Impact on the Essential Arts of Personhood w/ Dr. Peg O’Connor Ph.D. [Episode 101]

Friday Mar 10, 2023

Philosopher Dr. Peg O'Connor stops by the Intentional Clinician podcast to talk to Paul Krauss MA LPC about how trauma may affect peoples' abilities to develop and cultivate what one philosopher calls "the essential arts of person-hood." Some of the essential arts of personhood include: imagining, hoping, having empathy, bodily dominion, and self-possession. Lacking those makes it far more difficult for a person to have self-respect, which in turn makes it much harder to be a full moral agent and to be taken as such by others. In this episode, trauma-informed therapist Paul Krauss MA LPC and Dr. Peg O'Connor discuss the intersections of trauma and the ability for people to cultivate the essential arts of personhood.

Peg O’Connor is a Professor of Philosophy at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, MN, recovering alcoholic of 35 years, and author of Higher and Friendly Powers: Transforming Addiction and Suffering (Wildhouse Publications, 2022) and Life on the Rocks: Finding Meaning in Addiction and Recovery (Central Recovery Press, 2016). She writes the column “Philosophy Stirred, Not Shaken” for psychologytoday.com.

In her free time, Peg is an avid tennis player and a black belt in taekwondo. She has worked in dog rescue for about 10 years and finds that her faith in humanity can be simultaneously shattered by meeting mistreated animals and restored by colleagues who are fiercely loving and caring advocates. Her own dog, Clooney, is a rescue and they spend their days together in the great Minneapolis area.
