The Walking Wounded
Psychiatrist Dr. Soma Ganesan offers cutting-edge counselling at CHAKRA Health in Vancouver. His empathy and insight is rooted in his own experiences as a survivor of torture in Vietnam.
Excerpt: “The worst thing, Ganesan recalls, was not the torture so much as “the constant fear that your life is in danger, the lack of freedom of communication and expression, the witnessing of people being killed, tortured and mistreated.”
