   Can A Community Break? Collective trauma and what it takes to rebuild with Dr. Seth Abrutyn

   What happens when stress doesn’t just affect individuals—but entire communities? In this episode of Restored, I sit down with sociologist Dr. Seth Abrutyn, whose research explores how collective stress, cultural trauma, and social pain shape mental health, belonging, and the survival of communities over time. Drawing from his book Life Under Pressure and his work on collective and cultural trauma, Seth helps us understand why communities under prolonged pressure—whether schools, neighborhoods, minority groups, or institutions—can begin to fracture, lose trust, and struggle to care for their people.

And so through the years, I've learned how to deepen that relationship. And just like you and your husband, you know, you met, you had a degree of love, but then you started walking more about each other as you both had ups and downs and ins and outs and love and trouble you know it's a depth that you now know that you did not know then so sure there are things you learn to help with that but basically and it might sound trite but it's really not The struggles that I have faced, and I have faced tremendous struggles, people, a lot of times because the Lord has blessed me so much, they don't realize what he had to do to me to get me to that place.
